Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 10:33 pm @ B.D> - My apologies - In my haste to get it posted I copied the wrong legend from my notes. (Sorry) The guy on my reverse seems to be standing straight 'up' whereas all (most) of the examples that I look at have him 'leaning' left. Is this significant? Report this Post to the Staff

Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 10:50 pm Well it is still the same type. However, the style may provide a clue as to the mint. Celators in different regions in some cases produced remarkably different styles for the same type of coin. For comparison, here is an example from Nicodemia which seems to show the emperor standing more upright like your coin Edited by Biancasdad 08/14/2015 10:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
