 I'm just learning how to ID these, and I spotted a few too. I wouldn't want to take away the fun either.  |

They are all very nice coins and you should have no problem IDing them. With all the material available on the web these will be easy. You can also download the book ERIC I from Dirty Old Coins for free. It's and excellent source for Roman Imperial coins.

Those working on the second coin might benefit from this summary page of magistrates: http://akropoliscoins.com/page8.htmlOften a coin with completely illegible obverse can be identified from the name of the magistrate on the reverse. In the days before Wildwinds, lists like this were the first benefits we got from the new toy called Internet. Collectors of these Moesian coins might want to memorize it. |

The first coin is not from Arles, but from Aquileia. I have it attributed as: Aquileia RIC 106, Crispus AE3. 322 AD. CRISPVS NOB CAES, laureate head right / CAESARVM NOSTRORVM around VOT X within wreath, palm branch to left and right. AQS in ex. The second coin I'm still working on. The third coin is Trajan: RIC 417, AE As. IMP CAES NERVA TRAIAN AVG GERM PM, laureate head right / TR POT COS III PP SC, Victory walking left, carrying shield inscribed SPQR The fourth coin is Antonius Pius. I'm not 100% on this attribution possibly RIC 956ADD. Take a look at this link: http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/anto..._0956ADD.jpgAntoninus Pius AE Dupondius. 155-156 AD. ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P IMP II, radiate head right / TR POT XIX COS IIII S-C, Jupiter, chest bare, seated left, holding Victory & sceptre I will take a look at the others when I get back from running errands. I hope this helps some. |

Your second coin I believe to be Markianopolis Moushmov 663 Elagabalus and Julia Maesa AE28 of Markianopolis. Magistrate Seleucus. AVT K M AVP ANTWNEINOC AVG IOVLIA MAICA(...), busts vis-a-vis / VP IOVL ANT (CELEVKOV MAP)KIANOPOLITWN, Apollo, naked, standing facing, head right, with arm over his head, holding bow, serpent climbing tree to right, E to left. http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/elag...hmov_663.jpgI had a hard time with this one so double check me on it. I could very well be wrong. |

Why do you write: VP IOVL ANT(CELEVKOV MAP)KIANOPOLITWN
rather than: VP IOVL ANT CELEVKOV MAPKIAN(OPOLIT)WN?

Sorry. I meant to take out the parenthesis. That is how it was written on a coin I found where that part of the legend was illegible. I was having a ton of trouble finding this particular coin. Is the attribution correct then?

"Is the attribution correct then?"
I hope you were not asking me. I do not own that book and one thing I try very hard not to do is quote catalog numbers from books I have not checked. I realize there are may wonderful online resources and 99% of the time you might get a correct reference number from them but unless you understand what the original author used to separate one coin from another, it is asking for error to quote second hand numbers. I see no need for catalog numbers except as a shorthand for separating one coin from another. The ID of the coin otherwise is as I see the coin except it bothers me that no one mentions that large E in the field or applies the denomination name (E=5 assaria) as if that is of no importance.
