In trying to translate the "P M S COL VIM" reverse legend, I'm only getting so far as possibly "Pontifex Maximus".... Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 02/12/2016 12:46 am I am unsure of the PMS reading (Although Pontifex Maximus is not relevant here) COL VIM reads Colonia Viminacium. Veterans colonies were established in many parts of the empire. The Roman army had a retirement plan that basically gave you "40 acres and a mule" as well as a monthly pension payment. Presumably in the type of coin you have. Report this Post to the Staff
