echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/20/2016 7:24 pm to the community Not a lot of detail to go by but I believe your coin might be Allectus 293 -296 AD. In the future when you post images can you use the Upload Image feature we have here? Photobucket has too many embedded unwanted files that can contain virsus. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 11/20/2016 10:34 pm Not Allectus, but a "barbarous" (unofficial) copy. The antoninianii between Gallienus and Aurelian's reform were small, but more on the 14-18mm range, not 11mm. Barbarous radiates frequently were under 14mm; my smallest is 8mm. Still a nice find though! Edited by Finn235 11/20/2016 10:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
