Alphabetic Ancients Game.

thank you both! Cant wait for the Z of Zeugitana A-noob ;-) You still have those Carthaginian coins?

Bad photos again, but in my defence, this particular coin is tiny.



Very tiny.



Leo I AE4, obverse DN LEO something, reverse Latin monogram. 9 mm diameter.

Back when I originally bought that coin, the dealer had two, so I chose the one that had more of the legend. Then on the way back, I realized that my younger brother is named Leo (well, our local version of the name, anyway), and I really should get one of these coins for him... sorry.
Next time I went to that guy, I again bought a Leo I coin from him, but it turned out to be a different (non-monogram) type. If I ever get two Leo I coins of the same type, I'm definitely giving one to my brother.

Bit of a grotty 'L':

Lucilla, AE sestertius, 164-168/9AD. 29mm, 24.45g. DA 180°.

Obv. LVCILLAE AVG ANTONINI AVG F, draped bust right.
Rev. VESTA S-C, Vesta standing left by altar, holding simpulum and Palladium.

Ref. RIC 1779;Cohen 94; BMC 1178; Sear 5510.

PishPash, I think I have found the correct reference for your Lucius Verus.

There is one here on VCoins without a reference: http://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/tom...Default.aspx

And one here on ACSearch: http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=163929

But unfortunately I could only uncover the sharing of an actual reference on this typically unfriendly FORVM thread. I give the link to the whole thread, because the info is leaked out gradually...but it is there nonetheless: http://www.forumancientcoins.com/bo...opic=97920.0

It is Varbanov 1911, Volume 3. Greek Imperial Coins. Serdica. AE Assaria.

VC many thanks for the reference for LV. Have been looking for ages and not been able to find anyting. I will update Tantalus tomorrow.
