I had already removed the duplicate with no replies so I unlocked this one again. ~ Bobby Sufficiently identified to move to Ancients forum. - Sap Edited by Sap 12/24/2008 07:24 am Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/11/2008 2:26 pm It looks like Claudius II (Gothicus) 268-270 AD, Unable to see any of the inscriptions, but the reverse looks like Laetitia standing holding wreath and cornucopia. Faily common coin, could use some cleaning (soak in olive oil for several weeks), this might bring out some more of the detail. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16861 Posts	Posted 12/24/2008 07:20 am I'd mostly agree with the above attribution. It's definitely Claudius II (I can read "CLAV" on the obverse), but the Reverse seems to me more like FORTUNA REDVX (the only reverse letter you can see is the final "X"), similar to this one. 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
