TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 01/06/2013 12:12 pm This coin is from my first ever uncleaned lot. I have had it soaking in olive oil for over two years. I pulled it out about 3 months ago and I was surprised to see what I think is a rt. facing portrait with a radiate bust. The reverse looks like a temple? It looks provincial to me. Any help with attribution would be appreciated:) Report this Post to the Staff

dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 01/06/2013 12:37 pm I'd guess a barbarous copy of the Claudius II consecration issue with altar reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 01/06/2013 12:42 pm I agree with doug - looks quite crude, but this is a common issue for the barbarians to copy. Report this Post to the Staff

TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 01/06/2013 11:09 pm Thanks all. I see it now. I should have figured this one out because I have a ClaudiusII / Alter. Here is a fairly close match to my Barb above. pic is from wildwinds Report this Post to the Staff
