Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 11/05/2023 5:10 pm The letter "K" is extremely rare in Latin (much rarer than it is in English), but common on Greek; so I would assume this is a Roman Provincial coin, rather than Roman Imperial. Unfortunately, the "K" is just about the only legible letter, which will make things difficult to pin down. But I agree the portrait look like Hadrian. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
