bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/12/2012 12:00 pm These arrived in the post today - My photo does not do them justice and they still need a bit of cleaning but I'm pretty happy with them. PROBVS P F AVG - Bust left, radiate, wearing imperial mantle, holding eagle-tipped sceptre from front. ROMAE - AETER - Roma seated facing in hexastyle temple, Victory in right hand, scepter in left. RVDelta - Roma aeqViti Delta. Rome, 282AD, workshop 4, RIC 5.2 187E. This coin is from the 'AEQVITI' series: http://probvs.net/probvs/e-equiti.html Interesting system, worth a look. M AVR CARINVS NOB CAES - Bust right, radiate, draped, cuirassed, from front. PRINCIPI IV-VENTVT - Carinus standing left holding Globe in right hand, Ensign in left. StigmaKA - Stigma KA (20:1). Rome, Dec 282-283AD, workshop 6, RIC 5.2 161. Interesting that both of these were made within a few months of each other in Rome. I paid a bit more than I would normally be prepared to, they were £9 each. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/13/2012 09:47 am I have a nice coin of Probus, but it is very black, and you need to loupe to look at it properly, just to see all of the detail, which is all there. It just has a lot less 'eye appeal' than is desirable. Report this Post to the Staff
