<p>[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 4328850, member: 84905"]I have this solidus below in my collection. The coin shows the mintmark COMOB, the monogram RM for Rome and the monogram of Theoderic in Latin letters in place of the officina letter. I think the inclusion of RM indicates that COMOB was not understood to be exclusive to Rome. The inclusion of Theoderic's monogram was probably a statement of his assertion of power. I think in 497 Theoderic and Anastasius came to an understanding, which let to the removal of the RM monogram and Theoderic's monogram. Hence, the coin dates to between 493 to 497.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=6492755" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=6492755" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=6492755</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
