<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2862752, member: 19463&quot;]I wish I knew the basis for the CNG ID but I don&#039;t.&nbsp; In the time I have specialized in these, we have made more progress in showing what we used to think might not be correct than exactly what we should think next.&nbsp; Traditionally these were called &#039;Emesa or Laodicea&#039; or just Syrian.&nbsp; The thinking that caused the early Septimius COS dated coins to be given to &#039;Emesa&#039; and the early IMP dated ones to &#039;Laodicea&#039; may not be around through the next reevaluation.&nbsp; The person most likely to work this out died 20 years ago and the next level students chose to chase other projects.&nbsp; I wish I had a clue as to how many mints there were let alone where they may have been.&nbsp; I like the coins but they are a poor choice for those who must know everything for certain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
