abhayankari9001 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/05/2015 9:19 pm A friend found this while cleaning his attic and said I could have it. At first I thought it depicted Mars and Venus (or their Greek equivalents) but that and other searches got me nowhere on Google. So I turned to the experts of the community. Any assistance in identification would be much appreciated. Thank you all in advance. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Augustus Maximus Pillar of the Community Italy 1790 Posts	Posted 05/05/2015 9:28 pm Better pics are needed to give a full I'd. I think it's either Septimius Severus or Lucius Verus. I am leaning toward the latter. Can you give a weight, please? Edited by Augustus Maximus 05/05/2015 9:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

abhayankari9001 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/05/2015 10:08 pm I'll try. But the coin is extremely worn. There seems to be detail in the image I didn't see with the naked eye. Report this Post to the Staff
