Mint of Half- Siliquae of Majorian

[SC1985]

Dear Forum- Members!

I would like to know what you think about the origin (mint) of the Half- Siliquae of Majorian.

As I know, there are two different positions: One said it is Northern Gaule, the Other it is the Area of Arles.

Best regards, Stephan.

Where would it be in northern Gaul? Perhaps it was more likely in the south, on the way to Hispania. Arles was the site of a major battle (Battle of Arelate 458) when he might've struck coins and could even still have had a treasury.

They're not half siliquae. Just that the siliqua was made smaller due to inflation. As for the mint locations, impossible to tell but Arles would be a good guess.
