No. By the way if you are interested in Late Roman Britain there are a lot of good articles on the Great Conspiracy and how the Romans almost lost Britain.

That moves the time-frame up a bit.
Identifying LRBs is like playing bingo, you tick one box off after the other.
Has someone mentioned Gratian yet?

Yes, you are right - confused it with the Byzantine 'CON' of which we had so many lately.  But trying to get an attribution number I would have stumble across that myself. Was actually unsure for a second but then was distracted by finding something to post. Edited by Medieval

So it was a single guess on after all even though it is provincial, but glad you got it and not 'Augustus_Maximus' - might get something more diverse:   AE (Hemi-) Obol from year 10 of Hadrian minted in Alexandria - Milne#1168a / Sear[ME]#3826var[year] Obverse: AVT KAI TRAI ADRIA SEB around laureate head right Reverse: Hawk standing left, to right L DE (short for DEKATOY) Edited by Medieval

Well I'm down to real easy Romans, real hard Eastern empires and Byzantines. I think I'll go with an Eastern one. Clue, it's BCE.  |
