Coinage in Roman Syria: Northern Syria, 64 BC - AD 253) is an invaluable reference and very affordable, so highly recommended. Butcher breaks down all the coinage into different issues and dating based on subtle differences in designs on the obverse and the reverse. Given the subtleness in the differences of different issues, using wildwinds or acsearch proves problematic in finding the correct match. I can have a look and get you a reference for this coin when I get home tonight. Peter Edited by greekandromancoins 06/06/2017 8:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1120 Posts	Posted 06/06/2017 8:15 pm I haven't research the coins yet. They are still attributed from the original owner. Somebody did say that the Augustus is not a Dupondius, it's actually an As struck under Tiberius. Report this Post to the Staff
