It appeared to be authentic with some light wear, although the edges seemed smoothed. Weight 7.4 grams diameter 20 millimeters The inscriptions read: IMP TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TRP COS VI P P and S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI However, I cannot find an aureus matching this. I don't even know what the figure on the reverse is supposed to be. Any assistance to this puzzle would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
