augustus1 Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 08/03/2012 09:28 am I recently created a new educational website. It addresses the question: "Can you think of an emperor and a mint city which used five different mintmarks during his reign?" http://esty.ancients.info/interesti...ntmarks.html -- Warren Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 08/03/2012 09:34 am Interesting and well put together. I learned something today. Like I used to tell my boys, "a day is not wasted as long as you learn something new". I have a few Byzantine coins, but they are not my main focus. I particularly like the Philip I Tet at the bottom of the page. Regards, Report this Post to the Staff

dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 08/03/2012 5:39 pm I learned a lot from this post and will be on the lookout for examples of the ones I lack. I'm a bit surprised that we have not had others posting Antioch coins to the point of the 5 marks. I don't have the whole set but some may enjoy other examples (weak in different places) of the common ones. Report this Post to the Staff

augustus1 Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 11/09/2012 12:01 am I added a coin to my educational page http://esty.ancients.info/interesti...ntmarks.html br / about 1 emperor, 1 city, and 5 mintmarks. The addition is a remarkable large imitation with the rare mintmark ANTIX, about 80% of the way down the page http://esty.ancients.info/interesti...stinian.html Report this Post to the Staff
augustus1 Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 03/15/2014 6:55 pm I added an example of Sear 214, emperor enthroned facing/M over +THEUP, to my page. Antioch is the only mint to use that type. Doug posted a nice one one above. http://esty.ancients.info/interesti...an.html#S214 If you don't know the story of the calamities at Antioch under Justinian, you will find the page interesting. -- Warren Report this Post to the Staff
