PhoenicianX Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 06/12/2014 06:38 am If the admin could merge my other topic to this that would be great! I apologize for creating roughly the same topic. Anyways here are more roman coins I've found hiking once in a while..These coins seems to have been exposed outside rather than being buried deep due to worn out details! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I was thinking of soaking them in distilled water..what do you guys think? Ill be posting other topics regarding Greek/Phoenician, Byzantine and Islamic finds! This one looks like it might be Antoninus Pius I know some of these coins are definitely worn out and sluggish but I thought they might be worth saving if I could clean them...Advice would be appreciated Edited by PhoenicianX 06/12/2014 06:39 am Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 06/12/2014 06:50 am Soak em all in distilled water for a few weeks, occaisonally changing the water. This might not expose more detail, but it will preserve them a bit better. If you want to ID the late ones (top and bottom), try going to Tesorillo. The provincials will be harder. the Antoninus Pius is very nice though, a very good find. Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 06/12/2014 07:08 am Looking closer at them, only the Antoninus Pius is a provincial. Maybe 3rd one is provincial...looks like a Domitian Assarius to me, but maybe too small. Report this Post to the Staff

Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 06/16/2014 2:52 pm The fourth coin most reminds me of Commodus and the style, unsurprisingly, of the Levantine coast. Your example looks to be from the Berytos (Beirut) mint, reference SNGCop 105 : A genuine example below for comparison: http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/comm...GCop_105.txt Report this Post to the Staff
