Matt2018 Valued Member 181 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 12:16 am IS this Commodus or Marcus Aurelius? It looks like it could be either of them but I cant find them wearing a crown like that Thanks in advance * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Matt2018 01/25/2018 12:21 am Report this Post to the Staff

jskirwin Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 10:11 am OP Please send clearer pictures. Also weights and measurements. I've found a Marcus Aurelius dupondius that looks similar. RIC 1232, Cohen 376, BMC 1682 177-178 AD. M AVREL ANTONINVS AVG TR P XXXII, radiate head right / IMP VIIII COS III P P S-C, Aequitas standing standing left holding scales & cornucopaie. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear5/s5034.html Also: Commodus AE Dupondius, RIC 317, Cohen 628cf, BMC 465 Commodus Æ Dupondius. 181 AD. M COMMODVS ANTONINVS AVG, radiate head right / PROV DEOR TR P VI IMP IIII COS III P P S-C, Providentia standing left, holding wand over globe and cornucopiae. Cohen 628 corr. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear5/s5845.html The obverse subject is bearded so that's going to limit the time period a bit. Measurements will help with the denomination. And pictures, well, the better they are the easier this is. Report this Post to the Staff
Matt2018 Valued Member 181 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 10:43 am I think jskirwin is right its Marcus Aurelius- without a doubt I will be uploading some more coins for IDing. They are extremely similar on both sides but 1 thing isn't- the angle of the crown. Marcus Aurelius is more towards a 45 degree angle. and Commodus is closer to the horizontal plane. the coin is worn down a lot- Only frames of reference were the right side facing,beard, the reverse the nose and the crown. And the Reverse is identical with both emperors. I am pretty sure its Marcus Aurelius from that crown angle. Thank you so much! I narrowed it down to these 2 guys but most of their coins looks so similar( the beard gave it away) most of their coins images dont contain an actual crown but you found one I dont know how I missed that on that wildwinds site. I have more unknown coins I could help IDing soon Thanks again! Great site! Report this Post to the Staff
