dvw1974 Valued Member United Kingdom 74 Posts	Posted 09/03/2015 08:22 am I have bought a coin lot at an auction recently, mostly for the English coins - Among the coins was a number of ancient coins. Would be grateful for assistance in identification if possible as I want to put them on ebay to help fund the next buy :) (if they are worth anything) These are the last 9 coins that came out of the lot 1) Weight: 2g Diameter: 14mm 2) Weight: 2g Diameter: 17mm 3) Weight: 17g Diameter: 33mm ( note on it saying: Titus) * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 09/03/2015 5:43 pm "Titus" is a bit out of focus. See the Wildwinds link for his coins http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/titus/t.html Look down the left hand column until you find RIC 213 The description is: Titus AE Dupondius. 80-81 AD. IMP T CAES VESP AVG P M TR P COS VIII, radiate head left / S-C, VESTA in ex, Vesta seated left. I can't tell from your picture whether your is radiate (pointy crown). Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 09/03/2015 6:02 pm Yes, the first one is a Helena PAX PVBLICA AE-4 from Trier with at least a TRS mint mark. There could be dots on one or both sides of the mint mark, so a full attribution may not be possible. http://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/dmi...Default.aspx The second one appears to be a Constantine II (as Caesar) GLORIA EXERCITVS AE-3, also from Trier. There could be more to the mint mark than the partially on-the-flange TRS. http://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/rom...Default.aspx Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 09/03/2015 6:53 pm The first coin is a PAX PUBLICA reverse AE4 of Helena from Trier, officina 2. The second coin is a Gloria Exercitus AE3/4 of Concstantine II (reduced module). The third coin appears to be an AS of Caligula (could be Titus) but for sure with the VESTA reverse.
