Note 1: Finn Johannesen, "Gladius" on the Forum Classical Numismatics Discussion Board, says: "The pellet is the mark of the second issue of Antioch, this coin is not common with this exergue mark but well known. (...) Much scarcer than its left facing brethren you see all the time listed as 'rare'." Note 2: This coin is listed on WildWinds under Claudius II (Gothicus), RIC 217v. | |
