<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2890258, member: 19463&quot;]I have many times expressed the minority opinion that it is sinful to post catalog numbers that have been derived without using or understanding the reference involved.&nbsp; In the case of Hill, I should be silent and let you all buy what I consider to be a worthless booklet filled with questionable calls.&nbsp; I have not seen T&amp;M yet.&nbsp; Someone who has, please review it. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Did you miss the part about that &#039;rule&#039; applying to IVLIA AVGVSTA legend coins?&nbsp; Please don&#039;t make this harder than it is.&nbsp; All &#039;Pia Felix&#039; Domna coins are Rome unless you have a barbarous one which could have been made anywhere.&nbsp; When Septimius finished mopping up the Eastern wars, he closed all the mints that had been necessary when there were huge armies there and went after Clodius Albinus in the West.&nbsp; That did not take long enough that he felt the need for another branch mint so Rome was the only denarius mint for the last part of the reign and all of Caracalla&#039;s sole reign.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>When Septimius died in 211, coins of Julia Domna switched to the new &#039;Pia Felix&#039; legend (I&#039;m unclear what she was supposed to be happy about!).&nbsp; Understand we are only talking about Imperial coins (denarii) here.&nbsp; There were many Provincial coins for local use in the places that issued them.&nbsp; Those get discussed here often, too, but not tonight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
