Any information these two coins, and perhaps a breakdown of how you acquired your knowledge, would be greatly appreciated! This is my first pair of roman coins and I want to learn how to identify them by myself. Thank you in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

For example, you'll learn that beards don't appear on the denarius until Antonin Pius. Beards then disappeared after Caracalla, only to reappear sporadically from the Crisis of the Third Century rulers onward. Once you know the portrait you can figure out the emperor. Then search Wildwinds.com on that emperor. From that point on it's all about matching the letters around the coins. Start looking at coins - at either Wildwinds or VCoins.
