If you could make it as big as the reverse that should do it The style of the bust looks late 4th early 5th century to me, you could very well be on the mark with Arcadius.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 10:34 pm Can you make out any of the legend? The first two letters should be DN followed by the name than PF AVG. Based on the letters that I see, it is most likely Arcadius. This reverse type was used by several emperors of the time period so that is not going to be much help. Report this Post to the Staff
chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4981 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 10:41 pm I can only make out the ?VG on the end. However, I think I can make out 15 "bumps" were the letters are even though I can't really read them...that would match with D N ARCADIVS P F AVG aracdius or D N HONORIVS P F AVG honorius Thank you all for your help by the way!
