A.D. 194-195 Reference:â€" BMCRE -. RIC -. RSC -. In discussing the coin with Curtis Clay he was able to find a reference to the type in some unpublished documentation from Roger Bickford-Smith. One example known to Bickford-Smith citing Tbilisi A 780, cn the rev. only [...]G TR P COS surviving. A rare type for Alexandria copying the type from Rome and differentiated purely by the style of the engraving. Regards, Martin Report this Post to the Staff
