[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4531168, member: 85693"]A very interesting thread, and one that has been helpful to me while trying to figure out this sorry AE. It came in a lot that I "accidentally" obtained while pursuing a countermark I wanted. Bad as it is, it is my first Tranquillina, so I am pretty excited. The problem is, I am not sure I am attributing it correctly - given its condition, full attribution may not be possible. I think this might be the Tomis with Homonoia, Varbanov 5693 you posted. A couple of things: 1. I cannot find the mark of value. As bad as it is, I'd think I'd see it somewhere. Then there is Doug's example where the value has been removed. 2. The reverse Homonoia seems to have dropped her cornucopia? Or do I have the wrong goddess? Hygieia usually feeds her snake from the other side. 3. Is mine an obverse die match to yours? Mine is so awful this may be a fantasy on my part, but it would sure be cool if it were true. Mine is 27 mm and weighs 12.76 grams, which seems to put it in the 4-1/2 assarion range.
