It seems to say ANTONIUS PIUS AUG, but looks unlike all other types I've managed to find. Please help me. Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius were two of the most 'beloved' emperors of alltime ! Quite a few successors adopted the names and wanted to be loved. Unfortunately most of them were 'swines' who did nothing to deserve the names or the love of the people ! BTW Elagabalus ("worse than Caligula") also adopted the name and can be difficult to distinguish from Caracalla. His grandmother in fact was trying to pass him off as being the son of Caracalla ! He wasn't Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3442 Posts	Posted 09/28/2014 7:13 pm The Constans is probably a $5 coin and the Claudius is a very common posthumous issue so despite its rather good condition would probably fetch around $15. Report this Post to the Staff
