<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1122786, member: 5739&quot;]Ah, I see, thank you for your input ma&#039;am. When I look very closesly it does look like a letter &#039;E&#039;, but I think that the thing to the right of Apollo next to his foot on that first coin is supposed to be a rock he is resting his lyre on, or a tripod..... but with such wear it is hard to say for sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, speaking of mints and ancient mintmarks... I did just get a billon antoninianus of Empress Salonina, Wife of Gallienus.... and on the reverse, in exergue is the letters &#039;M P&#039; . I suppose the &#039;P&#039; stands for first officinae, and the &#039;M&#039; stands for Milan? I have looked to try to find coins with similar mintmarks, and found one that had &#039;MS&#039; I assume for &#039;Milan&#039; second officinae..... but am not sure.... I will start a thread on the Salonina one when I take photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
