What is David Sear saying: Constantinople or Antioch?
« on: May 27, 2016, 02:08:16 pm »
A 22 siliquae of Solidus of Maurice Tiberius is listed as reference nr Sear 529.

Sear 529 is listed under the “Mint of Theoupolis (Antioch)” according to his book, but Sear 529 is also “attributed to Constantinople” he notes.

So what exactly is David Sear saying here? Is it minted in Theoupolis OR Constantinople?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I don't know which attribution is correct, but it seems clear what Sear is saying. 

He himself attributes the coin to Antioch, following DO 150 which he cites without annotation.

He also cites the Paris example, BN 18, noting however that in the Paris catalogue this coin is attributed to Constantinople.
