Postulated by Simon Bendall in his article 'The Byzantine coinage of the mint of Jerusalem' (RN 159, 2003, pp.307-22) was the theory that rather than there being one fixed mint operating in the east during the troubled period in which these pieces were struck, it is far more likely that a number of temporary and possibly transferable mints were in operation in the Middle Eastern frontier war zone. Site finds suggest a mint in either Egypt or northern Syria, with the latter being more probable. These solidi belong in the same category as the bronze issues of Seleucia Isauria and Isaura, being the products of temporary military mints supporting the army as it advances against the Persian occupiers of Byzantine Syria and the east.
