<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3588193, member: 19463&quot;]Should we mention that the Alexandria mint used the same obverse legend Rome used but Rome only used it in 193 AD while Alexandria most likely did not switch over to striking for Septimius until after New Years?&nbsp; All this has been known for years but there are still too many people that believe all branch mints followed the Roman rules. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am embarrassed that I have lost the reference to the first report separating out the Alexandria denarii about 90 years ago.&nbsp; Does anyone have the reference or, better, the paper (in French?)?&nbsp; Looking at the style compared to the tetradrachms, the ID seems obvious.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]958358[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
