Silver - Antioch mint
Hostilian as Augustus coins are all fairly rare. They are issued by Trebonianus but RIC still lists them with the Hostilian coins under Trajan Decius. A few of the coins that RIC lists are a bit too hard to believe. I have listed them at the bottom of the page under the title "Questionable". In addition to the coins in my collection that are pictured, I have listed all other types that I have been able to confirm - about half of the coins are not listed in RIC and I think I have only scratched the surface for the number of varieties.

Questionable Coins
These two coins are listed in RIC but with no reference save the Cohen number. Neither reverse type belongs to Antioch (they are both normal for Rome), and I suspect they do not actually exist, or that the examples that Cohen found were ancient forgeries.
