[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 8086647, member: 84744"]I wish someone would compile recent hoard information to produce an updated account of the evidence for all this. Right now it just seems to be a mess! A small note: it seems to me the style similarity between these portraits of Saloninus and Quietus indicates they are from the same mint, or at least the same mint workers: To add to the confusion, there is another mint for Quietus and Macrianus, here's an example: [ATTACH=full]1404997[/ATTACH] Here's a coin of Quietus (not mine) from this other mint, of cruder style than my Macrianus: [ATTACH=full]1404998[/ATTACH] Where are these coins from?? :confused: (Mattingly suggested Emesa; Gysen and Jacquier seem to accept this attribution, at least tentatively. Why, though?)[/QUOTE]
