Easier to see if you use the magnifier on the ebay side. I have rotated the obverse to the right and the radiate is easier to see. |

Thanks 'Valecrucis', nice coin - can;t remember having seen that one before (but it might also old age catching up with me).

Just a thought . Does this help to 'narrow' the attribution down?  |

I also have a 'Macedonian' with a cross-like picture.  |

i think I'm with ben on this one, I think it's a heavly worn, beat up "consecratio" fire altar. I think I can barely see the "dots" on the reverse.

I am struggling to make out a bust on the obverse though?
