Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 06/04/2018 9:29 pm I agree. I think what you have is a Roman provincial with a cista on the reverse, something like this: https://cNGCoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=338893 Unfortunately, it may be difficult to pin it down. There are several cities which used similar types and several boy-emperors to choose from! Edited by Kushanshah 06/04/2018 9:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/04/2018 11:05 pm A couple of Getas from Nicaea for comparison, in the right size/weight range. Upper is an AE17 weighing 2.89 gm.; Lower is 16mm, 2.76 gm. Report this Post to the Staff
