<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3299384, member: 19463&quot;]Is it just possible that the &#039;rules&#039; of Latin plural abbreviation were not as important to the mint as your theories assume?&nbsp; I do not specialize in these coins but half of my TG antoniniani are AVG.&nbsp; If I had to pick one from the list, I would guess that the mint was not told that Hostilian was still in the picture (dead or alive) and did not ask.&nbsp; Are there Hostilian coins of the post Decius period with AVG(G) endings?&nbsp; The only Antioch TG with AVGG is RIC 96 which is footnoted as not certainly of the mint so any answer that suggests they did not know he existed seems reasonable. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]873704[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]873705[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]873706[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]873707[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
