Says who? Excellent thread, which I knew would be difficult but so far it's been next to impossible for me.

I wouldn't have been correct if we were being strict about Roman and Greek equivalents but I thought Martin's coin was a Greek coin from the first photo. This one should be fairly easy.  |

Aesculapius is correct.  Gallienus, August 253 - 24 March 268 A.D. Bronze antoninianus, RIC V 632, F, Antioch mint, 260 - 268 A.D.; obverse GALLIENVS AVG, radiate and cuirassed bust right; reverse CONSERVATOR AVG, Aesculapius standing facing, head left, leaning on snake encircled staff. Hope this attribution is right, I'm never completely sure. |

Yay! Probably the only god I could ID without any knowledge of deities on coins, so thanks for choosing that one, Doucet! Nice patina, cool coin. For the next one, please name both deities.  Edited by ThisIsFun
