<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2444283, member: 19463"]My example is not as nice but shows what I consider an interesting difference in dating ten years later. Instead of year 26 of the Actian era, mine is stigma lambda or year 36 but just in case you find that confusing we also have year delta nu or 54 of the Caesarean era now known as 5 AD. I still have the Antioch monogram but the consulship information is gone. Augustus took his last consulship in 2 BC so this coin considered that old news and dropped the listing. The reverse legend also changed the old 'year of the victory' to City of Antioch. This one has been harshly cleaned and is retoning so I hope it will look better in a decade or so. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]509852[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
