pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 10/31/2013 2:08 pm This coin I have put to one side intending to donate it with a small collection of coins, to a local school. No legends, fairly chewed up. Is it Vespasian? Don't want to be giving away a Galba or maybe this way up 28mm 12.69g looks like brass. Edit: Helps to post the right pics Edited by pishpash 10/31/2013 2:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 10/31/2013 3:21 pm Sorry with no detail and no legend the ID of this coin is lost to time. Maybe Augustus, that was my first thought. Looks like a skinny right facing bust. Outside of that no idea. Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 11/02/2013 08:19 am Definitely trajan and a very nice type which I've been after...Id give you a Vespasian in trade for that any day! Its got the longest legend on any coin and it is pretty impressive. I'm sure FR will post his example, but heres the legend: IMP CAES NER TRAIANO OPTIMO AVG GER DAC PARTHICO P M TR P COS VI P P (Emperor, Caesar Nerva Trajan, the best leader, Augustus, victorious over Germamy, Dacia, Parthia (it holds a different meaning in latin with no short english translation), highest priest, tribune of the people, Consul of Rome for the sixth year, father of the country) Eck...just read TIFs post. I'm way too predictable! Edited by Ben 11/02/2013 09:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
