Hi,

Here's another one from my mystery box. It is 9.5 grams and 28 to 29 mm.

Looks an awful lot like a Severus Alexander RIC 645 though I believe this to be an AS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking. Kieran

I think that it is a sestertius of Volusian. Possibly like the following example - RIC 247.

APOLL SALVTARI S-C, Apollo standing left, holding branch and lyre.

Thanks Martin, that's great! I didn't have a Volusian until now. The weight threw me off. I realize that by the mid third century the sestertius had become rather debased. My coin has been clipped and is quite thin. As you are aware, Severus Alexander sestertii weights are all over the place. That's why I was leaning that way. Thanks again.
