<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 6557091, member: 86498"]Trajan Ar Tetradrachm Antioch but most likely Rome 103-111 AD Obv. Head right laureate set on eagle. Rv. Head of Melkart Hercules right with lion skin wrapped around neck. MC Alee 455A RPC III 3529 25 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1263232[/ATTACH]In my mind the theory that many of these coins were minted at Rome is because of style. The coins minted in Rome have a very distinctive style which would be very difficult to duplicate even if someone had the need or the desire to do so. In reference to DonnaML post yes I have read that as well and I further believe that most of the tridrachms ascribed to that mint are minted in Rome as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
