Very cool to hold something made almost 1500 years ago. The history of Justin II is a bit sad. These are the only other coins that I can't ID. The wear on them is quite heavy. 1. Front 1. Obverse 2. Front 2. Obverse 3. This is the only side to view. The other is just to far gone. I don't know the correct rotation. Ty for the help!

The emperor is one of the ones named "Antoninus"; it could be Antoninus Pius, Caracalla or Elagabalus - all three emperors can be found on the Wildwinds page for this city. But judging from the shape of the portrait, I'd say it's emperor Elagabalus. I'm afraid I can't read enough of the second coin to give an ID, but it's a Roman Provincial as well. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 09/16/2012 09:59 am Welcome, those coin have had a hard life...and in the time they have been around just think how much has happened in the world. Nearly every event that we can remember and every famous person, every place we have ever been to and every book we ever read was created within their lifespan. 10 years we can imagine, 100 years starts to get a little foggy but 1000's of years are just hard to get our heads around...
