pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/05/2013 3:50 pm Not sure what this is, described as Lucius Veris dinarus, but I don't know whether it is silver or bronze. Only paid Â£4 so I am not bothered what it turns out to be! Can anyone tell me what the pics are, they are not very good! Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 08/05/2013 3:52 pm One of the denarius fragments I bought turned out to be Lucius Verus. This doesn't look much like him though. I wouldnt be happy guessing who though without concentrating on the legends (SEPTIMVS AVG?) Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/05/2013 3:56 pm Not received it yet so don't know about the legend. Dont know about a truck, certainly a chariot! I will have a look at SS on wildwinds. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/05/2013 5:32 pm I am buying a lot of "fillers" to get me going, I will get a bit more picky when I start to replace them. But I'm getting lots of experience so if I pay too much now and again, it is not the end of the world and I am having a ball! Report this Post to the Staff
Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 08/05/2013 7:50 pm Its a Denarius of Septimius Severus, with a lot of Plough Damage. He continued the "Antonine" portraiture style of Beards, though more like Beardy-Wierdy Commodus' style. By the time of Septimius, the Denarius was about 50% Silver. Report this Post to the Staff
