Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 02/20/2014 04:36 am Hi, I have six coins that I believe are from the same/similar period/place. Despite my best efforts I am unable to trace them. Does anyone recognize any of them, for me, please? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Some might be later imitations of Kushan coins. The largest one appears to be Roman, or perhaps Roman Provincial.

With the winged figure on the other side being the roman goddess Nike. Edited by Joseph7420 02/20/2014 12:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

However, a brief "Google Image" search did not bring up any examples of "Victory left wreath" for Domitian, just the "Victory with Shield" type. Report this Post to the Staff
