Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 05/07/2017 6:02 pm The wicker basket/torch reverse and B/VZ/AN/T/I-omega/N in the reverse field suggest Byzantium, Thrace. Edit: I assumed the reverse letters in the fields to be BVZANTI-omega-N...but see now that the Z is an I. Perhaps an misspelling by the engraver?

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 05/07/2017 6:42 pm I can't place it but, for comparison, reverses of a medallion of Caracalla and Geta, left, and an AE of Severus Alexander, right. Both from Byzantium, Thrace. Report this Post to the Staff

Perhaps an misspelling by the engraver? On the line next to the T we can see how the celator represented upper case Iota. I think the thing with the crossbars is an oddly made uncial Zeta.
