RIC 922 (Misattributed to the Antioch mint)
COLLECTION NO. 889
Attribution of this coin to the 4th unspecified oriental mint instead of Antiochia (as in RIC V.II) is based on the article by prof. Sylviane Estiot, "L’empereur et l’usurpateur: un 4e atelier oriental sous Probus"; Studies in ancient coinage in honor of Anndrew Burnett, Spink, London, 2015.
Note: On this coin the cursive digamma (symbol of the 6th officina) looks very "oriental" as opposed my coin coll. no. 705 where the cursive digamma look almost like a latin "S".
