My co-teacher at work gave me 4 coins he can't identify, but I think I got at least two few from the profile. What do you guys think, Antoninus Pius? I'm guessing provincial, since there's an eagle on the back. Edited by travelcoin 01/13/2018 10:51 am Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 4:13 pm I think your guess is a good one. Given what may be the tie from a wreath in the beak of the eagle, and the downward curve of the form it stands on - perhaps the "baetyl of El-Gabal" (the sacred stone of Emesa) - it could be from Emesa. Also looks like the remnant of the letter "H" just to the right of the eagle's neck, which works for some of these - although the OP coin would have to be an off-center reverse strike. If in the 23/24mm range, compare with: http://www.coinproject.com/siteimag...7-721244.jpg https://cNGCoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=85012 https://cNGCoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=214876 https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3578059 https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2594819 Report this Post to the Staff
