[QUOTE="seth77, post: 7389285, member: 56653"]There are distinctive types for Smyrna that are not carried over to Cyzicus: Smyrna: AEQVITAS AVG, CONSERVAT AVG, FORTVNA AVG, MINERVA AVG, PROVIDENTIA AVG, PM TR PO PP, SALVS AVG, SOL AVGVSTI, VENVS AVG, VICTORIA AVG, VIRTVTI AVG (both with the tropaeum and the type with Virtus standing), ROMAE AETERNAE Cyzicus: FORTVNA REDVX, VIRTVTI AVG turns to VICTORIAE GOTHIC, PAX AETERNA And VIRTVS AVG for both -- with Hercules (from Smyrna) and with Virtus from Cyzicus. The tropaeum and VIRTVS AVG types were probably the most popular types at Smyrna when the mint relocated probably in December 268. Here's the change in the tropaeum type from VIRTVTI AVG (Smyrna) to VICTORIAE GOTHIC (Cyzicus): Temp823 [ATTACH=full]1285940[/ATTACH] Temp929 [ATTACH=full]1285941[/ATTACH] The VICTORIAE GOTHIC was allegedly bought from the Royal Ontario Museum together with the 1903/5 Ihnasyah Hoard, but I doubt it.[/QUOTE]
