I think I can read 'MAX PO' on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 01/21/2011 8:57 pm It's not Constans - it's much earlier, a denarius of Caracalla. Wildwinds example. It's also supposed to be silver, which this coin does not appear to be. It may be a contemporary (ancient) counterfeit. 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. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
