Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 7:42 pm I have these two coins I believe to be Roman Provincials, but beyond that I have no idea. Anyone out there able to help? Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 7:53 pm The first is not Provincial but an Abdication issue of Diocletian with reverse of Providentia and Quies, I believe. Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 9:04 pm Thanks Doug. I think you've nailed them both. I will research both coins and post the attributions later. I don't know how I could have ID them without your help. Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 11:20 pm I believe I have the attributions for these coins thanks to Doug. The first coin I have as Diocletian RIC VI 56a struck at Ticinum in 305AD: OBV: DN DIOCLETIANO BAEATISSIMO SEN AVG, laureate bust right in imperial mantle, holding olive branch & mappa REV: PROVIDENTIA DEORVM QVIES AVGG, Providentia standing right, extending right hand to Quies standing left, branch downward in right hand, leaning left on vertical sceptre, pellet in right field, TT in ex. 6.8g, 28mm The second I have as an AE30 of Elagabalus SGI 3097, struck at Antioch, Syria, 218-222 AD: OBV: AVT KAI M APAVP ANTWNEINOC CE, laureate bust right REV: ANTIOXEWN MHT KOL, city-goddess seated left on rock, holding ears of corn, River-god Orontes swimming at her feet, above ram running left. In field S C , D E , and star 14.6g, 30mm If someone cares to double check me I would greatly appreciate it. I am by no means 100% certain of these attributions. Report this Post to the Staff
