theunsla Valued Member South Africa 112 Posts	Posted 11/09/2018 04:23 am I initially struggled to identify this (I'm a newby to Romans) because of the odd letter spacing on the obverse. Is this normal? I believe this to be a bronze denarius Aurelian Victory of Augustus, but I have no clue about the specific variant. Report this Post to the Staff
