<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 4040585, member: 31620&quot;]Hi all,</p><p>I have acquired the following coin:-</p><p><br /></p><p>Severus Alexander Denarius</p><p>Obv:- IMP C M AVR SEV ALEXAND AVG, Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev:- SALVS PVBLICA, Salus seated, feeding serpent rising from altar</p><p>3.11 g. 20.11 mm. 0 degrees.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that it is from Antioch rather than Rome based on the style and lettering. The As also lack the horizontal bars. RIC 178 has the correct description for this coin, but it is from Rome. RIC 298 is Antioch but has the shorter obverse legend IMP SEV ALEXAND AVG and a star in the left field on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Am I correct with my thoughts on mint allocation or do I need to go back to studying again?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1060711[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
