<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 7531900, member: 110350"][USER=96898]@Orielensis[/USER]'s reference to the qualities of Valerian's coins from different mints, and to the fact that there's apparently a difference of opinion as to whether one of his coins comes from Lugdunum or Cologne, reminds me to ask the following question. The authorities also differ as to whether the Valerian antoninianus I posted above (among others of his coins) was minted in Mediolanum [Milan] or Viminacium (in today's Serbia), with the more recent authorities tending to favor the latter. Does anyone know anything about the reasons for this difference of opinion, and why the consensus -- if there is one -- has changed over the years? I'd also be interested in the reasons for the Lugdunum/Cologne difference of opinion. The older books don't even mention a mint at Cologne at the time, I believe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
