FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 07/31/2020 04:33 am My first thought was Caracalla But I believe I can read AVT M AVP in the 8-11 o'clock region Something like 15 later emperors adopted the name of Marcus Aurelius but in this case I think it is probably the original A young portrait of Marcus Aurelius Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 08/01/2020 11:17 pm Quote: AVT M AVP AV K M AVP (Pretty sure it's a "K," not "T" after "AV": Quote: My first thought was Caracalla For comparison to a Caracalla, in this case from Nicopolis ad Istrum, Moesia Inferior, below. Same obverse legend at left, and both apparently have an "A" at 1:00 which, on the Nicopolis coin is part of "ANTWNINOC." Both are about the same size, and with centration dimples too. Different reverses, though. Report this Post to the Staff
JRSinCT New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 7:27 pm I appreciate the insight from everyone here... this is a great, but challenging hobby. I suppose, in 4000AD, American coinage will be rather boring comparatively... Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 08/09/2020 2:40 pm Yes the young "innocent" looking Caracalla The older portraits generally have him snarling and looking a bit aggressive At some point he just gave up on the Antoninus Pius/Marcus Aurelius charade Report this Post to the Staff
