oxos Valued Member United States 422 Posts	Posted 05/02/2012 09:15 am As you know I have been following Mark Antony Legion coins, looking for a V, X, XII or XV in good condition. All these show the legion number on the reverse. My question is: Is there any other Roman coins that actually have the number of the legion on them? I know that later coins have standards on the back, but don't seem to have a number. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff
