Macrinus, 11 April 217 - 8 June 218 A.D.
|Macrinus|, |Macrinus,| |11| |April| |217| |-| |8| |June| |218| |A.D.|, The same types with the same legends may have been minted for Macrinus at both Rome and Antioch. Some examples with a short beard and younger face are clearly of the style of Rome (and probably look little like Macrinus who was in the east). Some, but probably not all, examples with a longer beard and older features were probably minted at Antioch. RIC does not attempt to distinguish between the products of the two mints.
