The Scott Collection of "Aequiti" Probus Embedded Codeword Antoniniani

The coins of Probus offer a unique and very interesting collecting focus - the embedded codeword series of antoniniani struck at Rome and Ticinum. Each of these coins was struck with a single letter of a codeword embedded in the mintmark. Each officina (workshop) at the mint was assigned one letter of a codeword. When the coins of each embedded codeword type are assembled in officina order, the embedded letters spell out the codewords AEQVITI (at Rome), and AEQVIT and later EQVITI (at Ticinum). Click "AEQVITI" to read the NumisWiki article, "Coins of Probus with Coded Markings of AEQVITI Embedded in the Mintmark." Click "codeword or codewords" to read the NumisWiki article, "The Translation of the Codewords AEQVITI, IOBI and HPKOYΛI."

Probus, Summer 276 - September 282 A.D.; EQVITI Series II of Ticinum, V, TXXI

|Probus|, |Probus,| |Summer| |276| |-| |September| |282| |A.D.;| |EQ<u>V</u>ITI| |Series| |II| |of| |Ticinum,| |<u>V</u>,| |TXXI||antoninianus|
Ticinum mint EQVITI series II - click AEQVITI to read the NumisWiki article, "Coins of Probus with Coded Markings of EQVITI Embedded in the mint mark." The letter "V" in the reverse field is the third letter of the codeword EQVITI. The letter "T" in the exergue indicates this coin was struck by the third officina (mint workshop). The letters of the word EQVITI are coded in the mint marks of coins from all the officinae of the mint, with the specific letters of the codeword assigned to each officina in order corresponding with their officina numbers. This codeword probably refers to cavalry. It may be AEQVITI truncated because there were only six officinae in operation.

Hunter IV 161 (star right, 282 A.D.), gem EF, weight 3.973 g, maximum diameter 23.8 mm, die axis 180o, 3rd officina, Ticinum (Pavia, Italy) mint, 9th emission, 281 A.D.; obverse VIRTVS PROBI AVG (the valor of Emperor Probus), helmeted, radiate and cuirassed bust left, spear in right over shoulder, shield on left; reverse SALVS AVG (the health of the Emperor), Salus standing right feeding snake held in arms, V left, TXXI in exergue; ex Kunker, auction 111 (18 Mar 2006), 7026; SOLD


Romano-Gallic Empire, Postumus, Summer 260 - Spring 269 A.D., Struck by Aureolus

|Postumus|, |Romano-Gallic| |Empire,| |Postumus,| |Summer| |260| |-| |Spring| |269| |A.D.,| |Struck| |by| |Aureolus||antoninianus|
This coin was struck in the name of Postumus by Aureolus (one of the so-called Thirty Tyrants) while Gallienus held him under siege in Milan. Ancient sources which refer to Aureolus are limited and contradictory. He may have made his own bid for the Purple after Gallienus was murdered and Postumus failed to take advantage of the turmoil in Italy. The new emperor Claudius soon brought his rebellion to an end.
