<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3012100, member: 19463"]One point I fail to understand is why there are dozens of different coins but almost every one is an R5 in Emmett. If there are dozens of unique variations, it only makes sense that there must have been as many more from which no example survived. There are similarly few Alexandrian coins of Macrinus and Elagabalus has no common year one issue. My favorite Alexandrian of Domna is a LK year 20 but is known as an obverse die match with a year 18 coin so they were not striking enough to wear out dies. There is no common Alexandrian after Septimius year 5 until Elagabalus year 2. I would love to understand this situation. </p><p>Both of these have been shown here too many times:</p><p>Domna year 20 tetradrachm</p><p>[ATTACH=full]747133[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Caracalla year 22 drachm</p><p>[ATTACH=full]747134[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
