Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 08/11/2015 07:50 am That looks to me like Gallienus / Pax (which means PAX AVG). Report this Post to the Staff
antwerpen2306 Pillar of the Community Belgium 1194 Posts	Posted 08/11/2015 09:40 am I think on the obverse a radiate crown , on the rev : C ,I suppose S---C , so a dupondius.For the name of the emperor , we need at least a few letters.albert Report this Post to the Staff
tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 08/11/2015 10:59 am I think BEN has got the emperor right. It looks as though the reverse character is holding either scales or a purse, based on this I have narrowed it down to GALLIENUS - RIC 287 v4 Field Mark. Reverse - VBERIT ASAVG VBERITAS standing left holding purse and cornucopiae, Epsilon in right field. Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff
lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 08/11/2015 11:32 am At 17mm I think we are seeing a bit too much completeness of the design for a dupondius. Given the radiate obverse, I prefer to think it is an antoninianus. I like Ben's suggestion, or one of the Gallic emperors. As for the "C" in the right field, not sure what to make of it, or even if it's the complete figure. Edit: hadn't seen the suggestion by tenbobbit, but that reading of the reverse seems to fit the best. Edited by lrbguy 08/11/2015 11:36 am Report this Post to the Staff
