xoduspbc Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 10/24/2017 8:22 pm So the legend on the right says PIVSA and I assume it finishes with VG, but I cannot see. Based on the bust, I cannot for the life of me figure out who it is. I kind of think it's postumus, but I need your help please! My phone takes pretty decent photos I think: Report this Post to the Staff

xoduspbc Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 10/24/2017 8:58 pm Ah! Very good bob, thanks :) Liberalitas (sp?) Reverse I assume w/corn and what looks to be flowers, but likely an abbacus (another sp). I didn't notice the 'forked beard' until now, but that seems pretty indicative on severus coins.
