Both are much scarcer than those produced in the name of the usurpers themselves, presumably because the tetrarchs were quickly dropped from the coinage when it became clear to everyone that what was wanted was not heads on coins, but on platters. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie30" alt=":bucktooth:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[3] The story of the horse is found in the 6th century Chronicle of John Malalas.</p><p><br /></p><p>[4] I haven’t given exact dates, partly because they are still somewhat controversial; however, the current near-consensus opinion is that the revolt began in spring 297, and the siege of Alexandria concluded in late summer or early fall 298. The most cited articles on this point are Allan C. Johnson, Classical Philology, Vol. 45, No. 1 (Jan., 1950), pp. 13-21; and J. David Thomas, Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik, Bd. 22 (1976), pp. 253-279. The other main candidate is 295/6, defended primarily by Jacques Schwartz in various publications. It seems to me that Schwartz’s critique of Johnson is weak, while Thomas’s critique of Schwartz is compelling, but I’m no expert. The numismatic community hasn’t caught up with the consensus, issues of Domitianus are usually dated 295/6 in catalogues.</p><p><br /></p><p>[5] Lucia Carbone, “Giovanni Dattari and His Fabled Collection of Alexandrian Coins,” ANS Journal (Issue 2, 2018), pp. 6-27.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
