GREEK , ROMAN

FROM 210 TO 211

Seyrig 1946–48, p. 66: Year 14 of the colony of Laodicea = ca. 210 CE. According to Seyrig 1950a, p. 31–32, this era could be identical to the era of the metropolis of Laodicea [i.e. 193/194 CE] = 207/208 CE [rectius: 206/207 according to IGLS IV, 1272c]. But the weight MAH (Geneva), n° CdN 2017-20, shows that Year 253 of the Caesarian Era = Year 9 of the Colony = Year 13 of the Metropolis = 205/206 CE, so that Year 14 of the colony of Laodicea should be 210/211 CE.
