epikur Pillar of the Community Sweden 729 Posts	Posted 12/28/2012 3:10 pm got these in a lot together with some more identifiable than others. Hard to find the best angles in order to get as much detail as possible on the pictures... they are both about 10mm in diameter any and all help would be appreciated. If anyone is a hard core identifier, I have a few more thay would need to be id'd, but let's start with these two Coin 1: Coin 2: thanks Moved to Ancients forum for further ID - Sap Edited by epikur 12/28/2012 3:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 12/28/2012 6:47 pm They're all Late Roman Bronzes, late 200s to early 400s AD. I don't know what the first one is, beyond "late Roman bronze" - it's too badly corroded. The second is a FEL TEMP REPARATIO "soldier spearing fallen horseman" type. I can't pick the emperor. The third is an "emperor dragging off captive" type. Again I can't ID the emperor, but it was minted in Siscia (a garrison town in what is now Croatia). 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
epikur Pillar of the Community Sweden 729 Posts	Posted 12/28/2012 7:14 pm Thanks for getting me started... found this for the second coin: http://www.ebay.com/itm/cAc-Constan...180986353914 which has a reverse that is similar to mine, with the "M" mintmark or whatever it is. The obverse doesn't quite fit though, with the two tassles coming out from the neck third one has a very similar reverse to this coin: http://www.beastcoins.com/RomanImpe...ia/Z6496.jpg with the "D" on the right side of the coin...

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 7:08 pm Your second coin is indeed Emperor Constantius II (like the coin in your link), son of Constantine I. It could have been made in a number of different mints (9 I think) but will date from around 350AD. Not sure I can add much detail to the other two coins but they are also very close in date to 350AD. Report this Post to the Staff
