echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 8:46 pm Looks like an AE4 of Theodosius or Acadius. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 8:50 pm I thought at first it was a 4th century 'Constantinian' bronze but the style of reverse looks early 3rd century. Possibly a colonial issue. Without better photos (increased contrast might help too) it is hard to be sure. I am thinking possibly Elagabalus Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 8:52 pm I thought at first it looked like a 'diadem' but the more I looked I wasn't so sure. Reverse doesn't look that late. Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 8:55 pm Im thinking Arcadius personally - I doubt you'd fit Theodosius on there. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 8:59 pm You know I couldn't make head nor tail out of reverse but now I can see someone being dragged by hair. Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 9:12 pm For what it is (probably Arcadius)it appears to be a nice one. A long soak to remove some of the crusty stuff and you should have a VF coin. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 9:22 pm I'll go along with Arcadius it was one of the two. Report this Post to the Staff

augustus1 Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 10:08 pm It is an AE4 SALVS REIBVBLICAE, type 39 on this page: http://esty.ancients.info/ricix/ You can look at the images and obverse lettering to try to identify the emperor. Report this Post to the Staff
