[QUOTE="curtislclay, post: 4626990, member: 89514"]Not only does the style appear Eastern, but the occurrence of this type in Roman style seems to me highly doubtful. For a Roman specimen RIC 170 cites the Tinchant Collection, long since dispersed; who can say now whether or not the coin in question was really Roman? I cannot recall ever having seen a Roman specimen, though such an item would be perfect for my academic collection; and there is no record of a Roman specimen in the very thorough French publication of the Eauze hoard (1992), which contained four specimens of this coin in Eastern style.[/QUOTE]
