Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 04/19/2020 3:09 pm Likely of the Roman Imperial period, so the obverse would depict a Roman Emperor. From the Roman provinces. The planchet of the coin with its slight concave character makes it more likely to be from either Asia Minor or Syria/Phoenecia. The reverse looks to show "Tyche" holding a ship rudder with her right hand. Edited by Masis 04/20/2020 10:18 am Report this Post to the Staff
Quintillius New Member Netherlands 26 Posts	Posted 04/20/2020 06:51 am My guess would be Fortuna standing, holding rudder and cornucopiae for the reverse. So it can be either one of these coins, maybe Galba or Vespasian: http://numismatics.org/ocre/results...ext:Standing No expert on this though. Report this Post to the Staff

At 7+ grams I think it is too heavy to be either of those Denarii shown in that link. Report this Post to the Staff
