Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 8:59 pm I cherrypicked this today out of a bag of inexpensive, unattributed Roman bronzes. It immediately stood out for its heft, in the style of Greek coinage (about 18 mm in diameter, but almost 5 grams in weight). I'm confident that it was struck in Philippopolis, and I believe the personification on the reverse to be Homonoia (Concordia). I'm thinking it's an issue of Marcus Aurelius.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 07/20/2021 02:04 am I think you may be reasonably close with your attribution. Have a look at Wildwinds Thrace Philippolis Marcus Aurelius Moushmov 5144 (AE24) and Moushmov 5112 (AE18). I found them by Google search:- "ancient coin philippolis" I have found that if you able to attribute ancient bronze coins that you have bought 'on the cheap', you double their value, just by attributing them accurately. With a bit of teamwork let hope we are near to correct! Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 07/20/2021 10:46 am In doing a bit more research, I'm now inclined toward its being an issue of Commodus, either Moushmov 5209 or 5211. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 07/22/2021 11:05 pm Found a Commodus being offered on ebay that looks as if it might be a match to my specimen. See: https://www.ebay.com/itm/293441547627 For future reference (once this ebay listing has gone away), the attributions cited are: RPC IV.1,7567 (temp); Moushmov Philippopolis 217-9 and 221.
