I took photos of it next to another one of my Emperor Trebonianus Gallus Tetradrachmai of Antioch, Syria..... the one I need info about is the one that is on the left in the photos. I know a good deal about Gallus tets, and I know what the Greek titles read and everything, but I have never seen a Tet of Emperor Gallus with this type of eagle, where the wings are raised and the &#039;S C&#039; is one letter beneath each wing.... the only other coin I have seen this on are the &#039;MON URB&#039; series of Tetradrachmai of Philip I (244 - 249) that were struck at the Rome Mint for use in Syria. So I am wondering if this one could have been struck at the Rome Mint? I don&#039;t know if they only did that for those MON URB ones of Philip I though..... the portrait of Gallus looks like it could be from the Rome mint.... but I am just guessing and hoping someone on here has seen the type and knows something about it..... </b></p><p><b>Photos as follows, make sure to click on them for fullsize, they are quite large photos...
