Auch das ist mir neu. Ich dachte bisher, die Prägungen unter Gordian III. hätten bereits 240 wieder begonnen.nummis durensis hat geschrieben: Mögliche Erklärung: Zwischen 219 und 241 n. Chr. wurden keine regulären syrischen Tetradrachmen geprägt.
Danke für's zeigen. Zumindest sieht Roger Bland das in seiner Arbeit "THE COINAGE OF GORDIAN III FROM THE MINTS OF ANTIOCH AND CAESAREA" ebenfalls so: "The first series of tetradrachms merely have the legend ΔHMAPX εΞOYCIAC, S C. This is the Greek equivalent of the Latin tribunicia potestate (TR P); it cannot, however, be interpreted as TR P I since Syrian tetradrachms are never dated by tribunician years, but only by consulships (YΠATOC TO A etc. or YΠATO A). Since the next issue of tetradrachms, the short-lived second series, has the legend ΔHMAPX εΞOYCIAC YΠATOC TO B, S C (i.e., TR P COS II), it seems reasonable to assume that the first series was issued between Gordian's accession and his second consulship, which he entered into on 1 January 241. So for the first series we have limits of Gordian's accession (which occurred at some point between early May and early August 238) and 30 December 240. Gordian's third issue is similarly dated by his second consulship (in the shortened form ΔHMAPX εΞ YΠATO B and without the letters S C), so his second and third series must have been struck between January 1st 241 and his death in January or February 244."Andicz hat geschrieben:Anbei noch das Stück, welches mich glauben ließ, Gordian habe bereits 240 wieder mit den Prägung der Tetradrachmen begonnen.
