Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 06/01/2016 1:58 pm Definitely not imperial--the letters are too large and too garbled. Might be ostrogothic, or any other Germanic tribe, or even a less descript "barbarous". Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/02/2016 10:02 am I'm starting to think this might be a coin from Massalia, Gaul. I think the two smaller letters might be crude, tight sigmas. If rendered well they'd look like: Perhaps the Massalia small AE's with eagle reverses, with Massa (in Greek) written to the right of the eagle? For comparison (I realize the legends on the examples are hard to see): Report this Post to the Staff
vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 06/02/2016 10:24 am I think you might be right! Nice find! The quality of my piece looks good comparing the ones I found and here above... If you turn alround the picture like you did you can see an eagle. How could you determine this?
