Here is #2 of possible Roman medallions that I've been researching on Wildwinds for the last two weeks without success. They are mostly in "fairly" rough condition, but identifiable. The second coin is 36.5mm. Please help!!   |

To me, this is a Roman coin, but it is not from Italy, it is provincial.

Perhaps Dionysus supported by satyr for the reverse imagery?

@ruger, I enlarged and lightened the obv hoping that a letter or two might be visbile. I am not seeing anything, but when you have the coin in hand is any of the inscription decipherable?  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

@Spence, Yes there are several partials. I will try to take a better photo of it. Thanks for your response.   Edited by Ruger9a

@Bob L, Thanks for taking your time to help me with this identification. I did notice that all of the links you provided have "temporary" RIC numbers assigned. What does that mean?

@Bob L Thanks again! This one is proving to be more difficult than the rest. My further research hasn't been very fruitful, but I'm not giving up.

The truth is out there. I'm sorry, but this is an ancient piece of metal from which a bolt washer can be made
