pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/25/2013 12:54 pm Sorry about the quality of the photos. The obv is either barbarian or not Roman. The reverse is falling to bits, I don't know how much I can recover, it is like doing a jigsaw with no picture. Coin is 12mm 2.82g but will be lighter when I get some of the crud off. Any ideas?

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/29/2013 10:09 pm I have cleaned the reverse a bit more. Some details are coming through. Sorry about the photo, can't get a sharp shot. Any ideas of what it might be before I hack a bit more off? Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/30/2013 12:21 pm hmm, might take a bit more off. I see a possible alter centre with some dots above, right a square something with a vase on top! Report this Post to the Staff
