xoduspbc Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 12/23/2018 1:24 pm I was having trouble with the lighting, so I included four pictures. Thanks so much in advance for your time/help! My thoughts: Both are Roman Provincial, but I am not sure which province or even which emperor. The coin on the right has a caduceus reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 12/23/2018 2:08 pm A caduceus would be symmetrical. Perhaps the staff of Asklepios or, more simply, just a serpent entwined staff? Perhaps not a match, although reverse legend might be NIKOΠOΛITΩN: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4895400 (Your reverse is upside-down...and it might be "ΛITΩN" that we see on yours) Edited by Kamnaskires 12/23/2018 3:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

xoduspbc Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 12/23/2018 5:10 pm Hey Bob. Very very good, thanks so much! I was able to get them both notated properly thanks to you! I've never has the Diamandianus (sp) emperor before, it's a first! He must be scarce? Report this Post to the Staff

Well, bear in mind I'm not entirely certain about that attribution...it may or may not be right. Also note: you've posed your question to a stupid Parthian collector, so my response would be: Let's wait for Roman enthusiasts to chime in. Report this Post to the Staff
