Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 04/11/2015 7:43 pm I bought this coin as an Aurelius Antoninianus AE2 270-275 Obv. Radiate bust R. Rev. Pax standing XXI(?) in ex. Tercinum/Siscia mint. 23 mm. 2.4 gm I am not sure and I cannot find it in Wildwinds. Does anyone have any ideas on this one that they could help me with, please? Report this Post to the Staff

Athalbert Pillar of the Community Spain 629 Posts	Posted 04/11/2015 7:51 pm Try "Probus"... Or Diocletian better. Edited by Athalbert 04/11/2015 7:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 04/11/2015 8:07 pm I was thinking along the lines of 'Probus' but I never thought of 'Diocletian'. If I go down the 'Diocletian' road would RIC V 166 be a match? Report this Post to the Staff

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 04/11/2015 8:44 pm A 'B' before the 'US' on the Obv. and we have 'Probus'. An 'N' before the 'US' on the Obv. and we have 'Diocletianus'. Will anyone stick their neck out and have an 'informed' guess? Report this Post to the Staff
zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 04/11/2015 9:24 pm Certainly doesn't look like a B before the US. More likely to be an "N". Report this Post to the Staff
chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4964 Posts	Posted 04/11/2015 10:27 pm if I had to guess I would say that was an "N", but I'm not certain. Report this Post to the Staff
Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 04/12/2015 12:06 am Thanks 'ALL'. 'N' it is then and I shall go with Diocletian RIC V 166. Thanks for the help. Report this Post to the Staff
