ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2498 Posts	Posted 11/16/2023 8:47 pm Me again, The coin is an Arcadius. 383-408 AD. AE4, 15mm (1.59 gm). Antioch mint. DN ARCADIVS PF AVG, radiate, draped, cuirassed bust right. GLORIA ROMANORVM, three emperors standing facing. Mintmark ANT ? RIC X 151. There is a letter after ANT, my first thought was B as in hand it does have a very faint horizontal line at the bottom of the two verticals which make it like a U, but U doesn't make sense with greek letters. As always your help is appreciated. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff

erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 11/24/2023 04:18 am I think B is the only possibility, the two upper horizontal strokes too faint to be clearly visible. Any reason you think it cannot be B? Report this Post to the Staff
ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2498 Posts	Posted 11/24/2023 05:15 am @erafjel, Thanks for the reply. I guess my doubts were that in hand it looks more like a U, plus I am still very new to the whole Ancients side of numismatics, it might have been a totally new symbol that I'm not familiar with. But you're right, the B does make the most sense, being office No 2. Again thanks for the reply The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff
