Laodicea ad Lycum struck no coins between the reigns of Elagabalus and Philipp. During that period the coinage was regulated by three countermarks (Howgego 631, 42 and 638). Some of the coins of Caracalla and Sev. Alexander bear the dates 88 and 108, which point to an era in Hadrian’s reign, either A.D. 123 or 130, in both of which years he visited Laodiceia (Imh., Kl. M., 272).
