Can you take a straight on picture? It's hard to ID at an angle.

And a closer photo as well. I posted an example in one of your other posts today.

I believe the coin is a Fausta with SALVSREIPVBLICAE Salus standing left, holding a baby in each arm on the reverse. I can't make out the mintmark though.

Actually I think it may be a coin of Theodora. I have one like it... Theodora. AE4. 337-340 AD. Trier. FL MAX THEO-DORAE AVG, bust right wearing plain mantle and necklace, hair elaborately dressed with a plait encircling her head PIETAS-ROMANA, Pietas standing facing, carrying an infant at her breast. Mintmark TRP RIC VIII Trier 79. A link: http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/theo..._RIC_079.jpg |

ancientcoinguy I think you nailed it. The bust style is a match and what I can see on the reverse it looks the same also. This is a very nice find.

I find if you elevate the coin from the background (I usually just put a stack of 5p pieces under the coin) and try to take the picture in natural light the results are OK. |
