<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3108265, member: 72790&quot;]As a group I have found these Antioch pieces, both the bronzes and the tetradrachms, to be an excellent acquirement as often the scarcer emperors can be found in excellent condition for a much lower cost than the ones from the imperial mints. I don&#039;t think this has been mentioned yet, but for those interested in getting into these Antiochene coins the large SC most likely never meant what the SC did on coins from the Imperial mints. On the latter the SC stood for Consultu Senatus (with the senate&#039;s approval) while on the Antiochene coins they apparently stood for Syriae Communis ( city-state of Syria).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
