Antioch?
« on: July 25, 2022, 04:13:24 am »
Hello,

On this coin of Constantius II we can only read: ''N :Greek_Theta:''. With left mark M in field. What is your opinion? Antioch? Nicomedia? Do you recognyze the style of reverse from one mint?

Hello Flav,

I think you're right about Antioch. I don't see any differences in style either.

Yes ANT :Greek_Theta:.  While it is hard to narrow down mint exactly by style alone, the style, including the shield on the ground with a rim of dots (nails fastening the rim ??) matches Antioch style.
