stratocaster Valued Member United Kingdom 240 Posts	Posted 07/25/2008 3:29 pm I do not collect ancients and I don't know anything about them. I bought these two coins for 0.1$ in Romanian money because I thought they were so cheap. I know they are about unidentifyable, but hope you can help.

Sap Moderator Australia 16861 Posts	Posted 07/25/2008 9:09 pm The top one is very similar to the top left one in Numismatty's post here. It's the same reverse type (emperor marhing, holding labarum in front and dragging captive behind) but I can't pick the emperor on yours at all. The second one looks too far gone to be able to extract anything useful, except to say it looks from what remains of the portrait to be from the 200's AD rather than the 300's. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/25/2008 9:29 pm The emperor dragging captive was a reverse used on coins from the mid to late 4th century. From what I can make out my best guess would be Gratian. Can't help with the second coin. Report this Post to the Staff
