echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 4:29 pm I've had this coin for some time and attributed it to Caracalla but I have never been able to fine a reference for it. Any help would be appreciated. 30mm 16.6 grams Obverse: AVT M AVP H? Reverse: the only lettering I can make out is NHC. The reverse is a four column temple with a figure in the center and a coiled snake at the top. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 7:06 pm Thanks for the info, it has been attributed as Caracalla, from Augusta Tranjana in Thrace, Moushmov 3075. Report this Post to the Staff
Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 8:34 pm This coin is puzzling. The serpent is an attribute of Asklepios, God of Healing not Apollo. It may be Moushmov 3078 or a variant. http://www.wildwinds.com/moushmov/a...traiana.html click on the link for Plate XI and look at #26 you can magnify it there with a couple clicks.
