t360 Pillar of the Community United States 2703 Posts	Posted 07/25/2007 6:58 pm Please don't send people away. There are very experienced collectors here, such as Sap, echizento and many others who really enjoy helping out with identifying ancients and world coins from all eras. It is a billon ANTONINIANUS of emperor DIVUS CLAUDIUS II GOTHICUS issued for the consecration of Aurelian. The obverse legend is DIVO CLAVDIO, inscribed over the emperor's radiate crowned head, facing right. The reverse legend is CONSECRATIO, over a large flaming altar. RIC 261/var, Cohen 50. Looks like it has a "P" mint mark, I not sure of the mint yet, ca 270 AD. Here is an example from the Milan mint http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear/s3228.html and here is one from the Siscia mint http://www.vcoins.com/ancient/cgb/s...2959&large=0 Report this Post to the Staff

Let's not forget to add t360 to the list! Concur with the ID; it's number 11463 in the newest Sear catalogue, CV $25 in VF. According to Sear the mint is Siscia for this one, too; This is "pre-Diocletian" so the mintmarks are either obscure or absent; those "mintmarks" are officina marks (for different mint houses within the same city): P for primus, S for secundus, T for tertius, Q for quadrus (which are first, second, third and fourth). Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
