Aurelian Exergue ???
« on: January 10, 2007, 12:19:24 pm »
Have a coin, IMP C AVRELIANVS AVG obv and ORIENSAVG Rev, Sol standing left with hand raised, foot on one of two bound captives.  The problem is the exergue.  It appears to be PXXT, I think this is a coin minted in Ticinum.  But I can find no references (in my limited experience) for this coin.  Any help would be appreciated.
The coin is 21mm, 3.8g

I have to agree with you.  If I haven't said thank you enough to everyone on this board, allow me to do that now.  Thank you!!!  The nice part is you end up with tons of links to sites, I have spent the last hour or so on a site dedicated to Probus that someone turned me onto through this base ( http://probvs.info/probvs/ ) I hope there are more sites like that one, what a treasure trove of information.  To those who helped with this one, again thank you.

Yes, with sites like that one, Probus, and this, now you know for real what the internet is for!  Pat L.
