Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 08/20/2014 05:32 am Honorius is my guess, but which reverse type is going to be hard to pin point Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 08/20/2014 05:38 am Throw it in olive oil for an extended period, I bet something could be made of the reverse. Id guess Arcadius or Honorius by the legend, but the bust looks later to me. Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/20/2014 05:48 am Seller suggested Constantius II but the portrait does not look right. I thought I could see the letters TIVS PF AVG. Thanks guys, olive oil it is (and that is not like me)! Report this Post to the Staff
Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 08/20/2014 06:11 am I thought I saw ending legend as RI US PF AVG Portrait for me looks like Honorius or Arcadius, definitely not Constantius II though Report this Post to the Staff
