vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 10/24/2015 07:31 am Hello All, I was wondering if anyone happens to know this coin. It looks like there is an pantheon on it and the reverse an roman emperor (titus?) The diameter is 22 mm I can't give the weight as the scale is broken.. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 10/24/2015 09:32 am Possibly Severus Alexander?: http://coinproject.com/coin_detail.php?coin=12557 http://www.coinproject.com/siteimages/69-CP39.jpg I realize there's a different number of columns, but the size and the visible parts of the reverse legend seem to work. Definitely out of my element here... Edited by Kamnaskires 10/24/2015 09:42 am Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/24/2015 12:05 pm I believe it's Philip I from Cyrrhus similar to SNGCop49. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/philip_I/t.html Report this Post to the Staff
lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 10/24/2015 5:40 pm None of the suggestions so far are consistent with a hexastyle temple with a standing figure holding something dangling to the left and something like a wreath on the right (as we view it). I read the reverse inscription arranged as: COL- FL- PA?-CDE-(exergue)VLT This is similar to COL FL PAC DEVLT however I found no examples of a hexastyle temple among the online lists for Deultum, Thrace. The obverse inscription I read as IMP C M AX A? - AL? rest too weak and off flan. could this be a distortion of IMP C M ANT GORDIANVS.... The portrait bears some resemblance to Gordian III Edited by lrbguy 10/24/2015 5:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 10/24/2015 8:24 pm BOBL has the right idea, From what I can read of the Obverse legend - IMPCMAVRSEV---ALEX I havnt found the type yet but these colonial types can be a pain in the ass. Report this Post to the Staff
