Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 05/04/2022 8:33 pm I feel this ought to be easy for me to identify, but I'm having some difficulty pinning it down, which always worries me from the standpoint of authenticity. Only about 15.5 mm in diameter, with the weight coming in at 2.6 grams. It appears to depict a youth as Caesar, and to my eye looks Severan in style, plus I can read ANTON in the obverse legend. So I was initially inclined towards its being an issue of Caracalla. But I interpret the reverse as MARTI CONSERVATORI which is a motif associated with coinage of the 4th century. So I'm rather baffled on this one. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 05/04/2022 9:20 pm It is indeed Caracalla Caesar, with MARTI VLTORI on the reverse. Similar example on VCoins 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.

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 05/04/2022 11:10 pm I can see now that it's indeed MARTI VLTORI (I'd remark that this reverse die may have been in a late state). So RIC 11 (Sear 6675). I was taken by the portrait on this. Certainly the youngest looking Caracalla I've ever had. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
