Message:: [QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4487605, member: 110350"][USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER], thanks. I was rather annoyed myself that the CNG link to the details of the individual coins in Lot 614 is dead, but the seller was kind enough to send me the relevant portion of the page with my coin from the catalogue giving those details. It's the last coin on the page, No. E027; unfortunately, unlike the previous coin, no earlier provenance is given for mine: [ATTACH=full]1113761[/ATTACH] Given the very nice toning of my coin, though, I suspect that it had been in "A.K.'s" collection for a while. Regarding the location of the Eastern mint that issued the other version of this denarius [RIC IV Septimius Severus 645 (denarius)], RIC (as you indicate) identifies that location as Laodicea ad Mare. But see [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER]'s comment above yours, and his linked thread, indicating that it's now believed that that mint was located in Antioch.  (I don't know if [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER] has a citation for that information.) However, OCRE still identifies the mint as Laodicea.[/QUOTE]
