gez44 New Member United Kingdom 10 Posts	Posted 05/06/2013 2:54 pm Big thank you all for helping me last time. Out metal detecting yesterday on the same field I found my Trajan and found this one as well, would love some expert eyes on this one, I think it may be a Domitian sestertius with seated Jupiter on reverse. Thanks guys, Gez. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/06/2013 3:06 pm Nice find. I've enhanced your pictures a little to better help ID the coin. I don't believe it's Domitian though, I see what appears to be a beard. I think it might be Septimius Severus. Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 05/06/2013 4:21 pm Definitely Zeus, probably provincial. There should be an eagle at his foot if oyu can see anything in hand. Report this Post to the Staff

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 05/07/2013 09:52 am Eddop might be onto something there! The obverse looks like Caracalla and the reverse is a definite Zeus, reminiscent of the Alexander Tetradrachms. Report this Post to the Staff
