chuy1530 Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 07/19/2014 10:57 pm AE means bronze, and 12 means the diameter in millimeters, except annoyingly on some later Roman coins where AE1, AE2 and so on are separate labels for different sizes of coins. Report this Post to the Staff

jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 07/20/2014 3:58 pm For Roman coins the size is AE1, AE2, AE3, AE4 which denotes a range of diameters. See RIC for the ranges. For Greek coins it is AE then the diameter in mm. Hope that clears up your annoyance. AE is short for Aes which just means bronze in Latin. Report this Post to the Staff
