Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 09/20/2017 01:31 am Sorting through some pictures and I found this one that I meant to post here but just plumb forgot to. It's already back in the backlog, so I forgot the measurements. It's smallish, maybe 20mm and 5ish grams? No legend is legible aside from the standard SC in the wreath on the back. The portrait sure looks like Augustus or maybe Caligula, but I can't find an Antioch Provincial with a left-facing bust until Vespasian, and this definitely isn't him. Any ideas?

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 09/21/2017 09:30 am Ah, I think you are correct @Biancasdad! I had just assumed that since it looked so much like Augustus, it was probably from the reign of Augustus or Tiberius. Size matches, and the SC is a perfect match while the top of the portrait is a good match - I suppose the bottom of the face was just worn to make him look a bit thinner. Thanks!
