xoduspbc Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 12/28/2018 08:21 am Hey guys! Here's my thoughts on these: Left: Grapes on the reverse and maybe Diadumiand (spelling) Right: Really no idea Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 12/28/2018 08:52 am I reckon the left hand coin is from Markianopolis...but I am notsure the bust is youthful enough to be Diadumenian. I am leaning towards the other emperors around that time, but without the obverse legend being readable, I'm not sure we can assign it firmly.

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 12/28/2018 09:29 am MAPKIANOΠOΛITΩN does work for the reverse legend. I suspect Elagabalus. Edited by Kamnaskires 12/28/2018 09:32 am Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 12/28/2018 11:11 am Possibly CEBHC AVΓ (of EVCEBHC AVΓ, with some letters ligate) on the obverse of the big guy. Perhaps a Thrace issue of Maximinus I? Report this Post to the Staff
xoduspbc Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 12/28/2018 4:11 pm Hey guys, Cool, thanks for your help! I agree it looks more like Elagabalus with a grape bunch reverse from Markianopolis. And I also think you're right about Maximinus I - The bridge of the nose (looks broken) seems to be pretty consistent. Thanks so much! Report this Post to the Staff
