I can't get a handle on the emperor. Appears to be Victory reverse, any suggestions? Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 04/29/2014 10:48 am Thanks chris, I think I will put it down as unidentified - possibly caracella. It is too mangled! But it was a nice surprise to find it. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/29/2014 11:34 am I don't think it's a fouree, I believe it's a silvered antonininus. It's a long shot but I think it might be Claudius II with the reverse of VICTORIA AVE. Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 04/29/2014 2:59 pm Well, the reverse has a lot of legend left and looks to me like the desirable VICTORIAE BRIT reverse. Caracalla did issue this legend, and the obverse legend supports it being him, but Ihavent found the exact issue. Take note of the IVS above the head and the spacings on the reverse. EDIT: I suspected this was Septimius Severus, but discounted it because there isn't a beard visible, butr I think it is him: Edited by Ben 04/29/2014 3:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
