A quick google search reveals something similar Probus (276-282 A.D.), AE-Antoninianus, RIC V-II 737, Siscia, ROMAE AETERNAE, Bust-H, -/-//XXIQ, Roma seated in temple, C Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 12/22/2014 2:53 pm Looks genuine to me, probably part of a hoard of similar antoniniani. The reverse legend means 'Eternal Rome' or 'Rome Forever'. Its good type and temple reverses are popular. EDIT: Your attribution was slightly off, its actually RIC V-2 Siscia 739. IMP CM AVR PROBVS PF AVG RIM-ESC left ROMAE AETERNAE Roma seated left within temple holding globe and sceptre, shield beside her. XXIS Siscia RIC V-2 Siscia 739 Scarce Edited by Ben 12/22/2014 3:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
