wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 11/01/2008 2:29 pm Can someone help me identify this coin. It is a bronze about 24 mm in diameter. I used a flash to enhance the contrast between coin and text. Report this Post to the Staff

I can see it, but only after I am informed as to what is there. Just remember that the romans used the same letters as modern English, except that v=u and i=j. (for example augustus is spelled avgvstvs and julius is spelled iulius) My best advice would be to look for the name of the emperor first, then try to narrow it down further with all the extra letters.
