Assarii were made of copper and sestertii of brass, so you can probably tell in hand which it is without measuring its diameter. I think it is this issue, showing Felicitas (Goddess of luck): http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...RIC_0672.jpg Trajan, 115-116AD, IMP CAES NER TRAIANO OPTIMO AVG GER DEC P M TR P COS VI P P - draped, laureate bust right SENATVS POPVLVSQVE ROMANVS (the senate and the people of Rome) // S - C - Felicitas standing left, holding caduceus and cornucopia - this coin is celebrating the good luck of the people of Rome thanks to Felicitas. S-C stands for SENATVS CONSVLTVM, signifying that the emperor has permission from the senate to mint copper and brass coinage. Report this Post to the Staff
