<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2253661, member: 42773&quot;]Well, Howgego lists a bee countermark on Roman Provincial issues (365), but I wonder whether it bears any relationship to older Greek marks - it does look very much like the mark on my coin. My first thought was that the coins with bee countermarks were stamped for use in Ephesos, but the Ephesos bees are of a different design altogether. Is it possible this IS the Howgego mark? Did the Romans mark older Greek coins for re-use in the provinces?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
