Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 11/10/2012 6:01 pm Might be a Roman Imperial Julian II. From Sirmium. Hard to tell since the coin is really worn and in bad shape. Could also be a barbarous copy since the engraving style looks kind of crude. Report this Post to the Staff

Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 11/10/2012 7:15 pm Since I see more in the newer photos, it definitely looks like Siscia. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 11/10/2012 7:56 pm It's hard to be certain as this coin is in such poor condition. It is definitely from Siscia. I believe it is Julian II with Spes Republica reverse. Something like this coin, RIC VIII 404: http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/juli...III_404v.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
