oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5238 Posts	Posted 06/06/2020 12:42 pm This appears to be a Marcus Aurelius. 17.35 grams, so a sestertius or dupondius. the inscriptions appear to be: obverse: *antoni-nvs avg reverse: *tas avg imp x cos III P P However, I cannot find an exact match on Wildwinds, not with this obverse inscription. Can anyone give me a positive attribution? Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5238 Posts	Posted 06/06/2020 2:34 pm @erafjel, in my example the "anton" starts lower behind the head (just behind the hair ribbon), plus it is 6 grams underweight. What if any significance is this? Report this Post to the Staff

Still, I think that is what it has to be, it is far too heavy for a dupondius. But the position of the text is a bit confusing, hmm... Report this Post to the Staff
