<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 4299409, member: 44316&quot;]We have had many threads that mentioned wolf-and-twins coins. Most are common Roman imperial types. Here is a Roman provincial:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1094277[/ATTACH] </p><p>Macrinus, 217-218.</p><p>at Laodicea ad Mare</p><p>29-28 mm. 9.21 grams.</p><p>IMP C M OP SEV MACRINVOS P AV</p><p>ROMAE FEL</p><p>Sear Greek Imperial 2954</p><p>BMC Syria 97, page 261.</p><p>Even though Laodicea is near Antioch in the Greek-speaking east, the legend is in Latin. In contrast with Antioch, it was sacked by Pescennius Niger during his civil war with Septimius Severus, so it was granted the status of a Roman colony after Septimius Severus won. </p><p><br /></p><p>Show any provincials you have of Laodicea or of Macrinus! Or, show us any recent wolf-and-twins purchases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
