echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/31/2013 12:16 pm I wish the image was a little larger and clearner, the best that I can tell is that it might be Caracalla. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 07/31/2013 12:25 pm Might be ........ but probably Elagabalus who also went by the same name. Report this Post to the Staff
Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 07/31/2013 7:34 pm Is the size around 21- 25 mm in diameter? Victory advancing left is a prominent design on the coinage of Stobi. Possibly Caracalla, "MVNI STOBE", an example such as Varbanov 3961 (R3). Edited by Masis 07/31/2013 7:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/01/2013 03:39 am Masis, can you confirm Varbanov number please? It is 22mm 5.22g Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/01/2013 09:40 am I have it as Moushmov 6554, it may the same coin as the Varbanov reference. Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/01/2013 09:53 am Moushmov 6554 is Varbanov 4104 and the coin is slightly different. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/01/2013 10:18 am I don't have an image of Varbanov 3961 so I don't know what the difference might be. Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/01/2013 11:04 am I cant find a Varbanov 3961. Report this Post to the Staff
Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 08/01/2013 1:11 pm I got the referance example from my Varbanov book. The correct obverse legend is needed + the reverse legend. MVNI STOBE or MVNIC STOBE? For example, at 22mm it could be Varbanov 3961 - 63. Edited by Masis 08/02/2013 08:15 am Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/01/2013 2:49 pm It is difficult to say. I can see MVN the next letter could either be I or C and the rest is worn. I might send it to the British Museum. I can't take a photo as downloading on to (don't buy it) windows 8 is causing it to crash. Taking it in for repair tomorrow. Report this Post to the Staff
