circusmax120 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 09/03/2015 11:39 am I believe this dupondius of Trajan. The size seems right for a dupondius and the portrait is obvious enough, but the wear makes it difficult to pin down an exact type. Again...from an uncleaned lot. Can anyone see details that I'm missing? Report this Post to the Staff

Athalbert Pillar of the Community Spain 629 Posts	Posted 09/03/2015 4:01 pm The dupondius and the As are of the same size (aprox.), but ancient romans usually weared the emperor´s head whith a radiate crown for the dupondius and with a laurel crown for the asses... This was a common practice after the first emperors (with some exceptions..) Report this Post to the Staff
