<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 2566591, member: 82549&quot;]I&#039;ve checked RIC. There is a difference in output between the two mints, one of which is unidentified. It&#039;s possible that the other mint was a traveling military mint, but this is just conjecture on my part. Whatever and wherever it was, it produced an aureus (FIDES MILITVM reverse) and 5 different antoniniani (AEQVITAS, FELICITAS, VICTORIA [2 versions] and VIRTVS AVG). I&#039;ve compared my coin, above, with the one of the same type pictured in RIC (Plate XIV, 6).&nbsp; Both obverse and reverse dies are clearly different.</p><p><br /></p><p>If we assume that the unidentified mint was closer to Marius at the time of his death, perhaps actually there with him, this seems like a pretty high output for just 2 or 3 days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
