gtkwml Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 09/26/2018 11:18 pm This one was heavily encrusted, so I resorted to electrolysis. I usually don't use olive oil. Either long months in distilled water or zapping. Report this Post to the Staff
gtkwml Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 09/26/2018 11:19 pm RIC sounds a lot like it, though I haven't seen a pic. Report this Post to the Staff
gtkwml Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 09/26/2018 11:25 pm Oops. Meant to say RIC 73 Report this Post to the Staff
Doctorwho2485 Valued Member New Zealand 292 Posts	Posted 09/26/2018 11:36 pm I've got a few Romans in olive oil at the moment. Just trying it out. I do Distilled water really. But just trying olive oil too. Report this Post to the Staff
maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 05:26 am The portrait doesn't look like Tetricus. It looks more like Claudius II Gothicus which matches the legend too. Report this Post to the Staff
gtkwml Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 08:35 am I tried the identifier at OCRE, and it showed cvspfavg as Tetricus. The description also matches the reverse for RIC 73. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 09:26 am Nothing about the style points to Tetricus Not sure who it is but the Gallic emperors don't seem very likely Report this Post to the Staff
maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 09:29 am But what if it isn't a C? This is why I think Gothicus. Similar? Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 09:39 am The square jawed (tough as nails) look made me think of Probus Report this Post to the Staff
gtkwml Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 09:55 am I'm afraid, RVFVS, you are quite correct. Probus. Report this Post to the Staff
gtkwml Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 11:09 am Please help -- I'm now having trouble finding a Probus with the reverse, Fortvna with rudder and cornucopia. Report this Post to the Staff
maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 12:28 pm It is not Probus. The style is wrong for any of his mints. Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 4:28 pm It's definitely Claudius II. Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 6:40 pm This Claudius II seems to be a good candidate, from RIC V online (the update-in-progress of the current edition). http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/coin/969?tempRIC Report this Post to the Staff
gtkwml Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 6:46 pm Okay, I'll check that. Looking at the strong chin and beard, plus other factors, I was about to call it a barbarian Abe Lincoln. Report this Post to the Staff
