echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 3:28 pm I believe these are Roman provincials. I can't make out enough details on the bust to say who it is. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/05/2013 08:38 am "SC" translates 'Senatus Consulto' = by the authority of the (Roman) Senate. I am tempted to agree that they are Roman colonial. My guesses are the the first is of Antoninus Pius, the second of Tiberius. If someone has a better insightful guess, I would also say that they would have a better chance of being right. If they were mine I would eventually fully identify them, but sometimes it has taken me years to do so in this condition. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 04/05/2013 10:59 pm I have one more or less the same as these two, in terms of design and condition. I was once told by an ancients expert that coins with "SC in a wreath" on them are almost always either from Rome proper, or from Antioch. I think the best that can be done in these cases is to call them "Roman Provincial - Antioch? - uncertain emperor". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
