<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 8087730, member: 84905&quot;]I think the historical dates, which I mentioned above should help. If Antioch was occupied by the Persians in AD 255 to 258 and again in 260-261, coins produced in that period were likely made by a mint other than Antioch and I think Samosata is a very reasonable proposition.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it is possible that the whole mint of Antioch (including the die engravers) were moved to Samosata in times of emergency. So it may just be that the mint of Antioch operated from different locations, which can be determined at best from historical events and find spot evidence, but not from stylistic characteristics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
