Additional Notes

This "Greek Imperial" issue was struck in Antioch in Pisidia, in Roman Asia Minor. This issue by Macrianus was unknown to many cataloguers, and many of the issues from Antioch during the 250s AD were very crudely engraved and difficult to determine the emperor. This coin is easily readable as Macrianus.
