As a twist to "Guess the Emperor", I have come up with Guess the Legend! You have to post the full obverse with obverse legend, and the figure/object on the reverse, and guess the reverse inscription. This is the one I`m gonna start with:   Since I already posted this coin, this should be easy. |

This is an interesting game, but I think it's going to be a lot harder than you think. Obverse legends were the same for many reverse types. Case in point is this Gallienus.   |

I have a nice picture of the reverse of that coin so I won't be guessing on this one (Thanks Ron)  You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys.....

I think Ben is right on the legend. The point of this game is to be harder. Since you can usually see 1 of the letters when you crop it, you have a few choices to choose from.

You didn't pick an easy one. I think it might be APOL PAL PM TR P XVI COS VI
