<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2226862, member: 44316&quot;]No. He said that for *gold* CONOB does not mean the mint is Constantinople. It apparently says &quot;Con[stantinopoli] ob[ryziacus]: fine gold solidus of Constantinople&quot; but now it is thought it might mean &quot;of the gold standard of Constantinople&quot; because other mints used it too. The &quot;OB&quot; part is critical. For copper, &quot;CON&quot; means it was minted in Constantinople, with the possible exception of some rare 5th century late Roman AE2s (Theodosius II, Valentinian III) found only near Cherson in the Crimea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
