Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 02/18/2013 2:11 pm Crispus with a Sol reverse. You find a lot of coins, it might be worth your while to learn how to ID some - you learn a lot. Still post the coins but give us somethingto go by! This one the surviving obverse legend say CRISPVS - only used by Crispus. The reverse shows Sol (big old radiate crown gives him away). Report this Post to the Staff
Monkeybean Valued Member United Kingdom 300 Posts	Posted 02/18/2013 2:16 pm I'm learning as I go , the one thing I have learnt so far is that radiates were about 200 - 297 or close to that . Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 02/18/2013 2:18 pm Ah, well, thats not true I'm afraid! They do turn up earlier - they are mostly 200AD onwards but there are a few examples before hand (Nero seemed to mint a fair few of him with a Radiate crown). Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/18/2013 2:50 pm Very nice coin. What do you have for reference material? Books can be expensive but there are some outstanding sites on the web. Dougsmits and Warren Estes are one of the best. You can also download a good portion of RIC on Helvetica. I also recommend looking into buying a copy of ERIC II from Dirty Old Coins or from ebay. It's a little expensive at $150 but is IMO the best book on Roman and Byzantine coins to come down the pike in many years. Keep posting your coins. Report this Post to the Staff
