gallienus Cyzicus
« on: January 25, 2023, 06:30:32 am »
Salutations,
this ae 23 of gr-9.2 in my opinion is Gallienus for Cyzicus.
I deduce Gallienus from the initial legend Π ΛIC, it could also be Saloninus, but I don't think so.
I kindly ask for an opinion on the identification and possibly its classification.
Thank you and greetings

Oh... "GCAM"! [LINK] That's good to see! I have still been using ISEGRIM at http://isegrim.dasr.de/isegrim_neu/

Time to play around with it some more and see if I get any different results. I love ISEGRIM, especially for finding concordant references for volumes I don't have access to (or provenance research). My favorite thing about it is that each coin in the references gets a unique number (1), (2),...(x), so you can see when different volumes were publishing the same coin.
