Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4398 Posts	Posted 04/14/2024 9:45 pm I've been sitting on this one for a while, still haven't been able to identify it. Reverse is still fairly legible so I thought I could get an easy match. Looks to have Pietas standing left with patera, legend being P---A... fits that too, but I haven't come across anything close. Any help here? 16mm 1.47g Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34398 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 09:17 am @tan, while I'm a bit out of my element on these, I agree that Pietas with a paterna seems like a pretty good guess for the reverse. On the obverse, it looks to me like the bust is bare-headed. If so, then it seems like you've got one couple possibility for denarii, although the location of the letter on the rev doesn't match well: Geta: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4567570 Hopefully, someone else who knows more can weigh in with a more accurate attribution.

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4398 Posts	Posted 04/15/2024 2:40 pm Thanks Spence! Geta/Pietas does seem to be close. I just haven't seen one without the altar to the left like mine. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4398 Posts	Posted 04/18/2024 1:24 pm So far the only two denarii with Pietas standing, holding patera, without altar I have seen have been imitations: Caracalla: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3327235 Antoninus Pius: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=848372 Report this Post to the Staff
