Aurelian OBV: IMP AVRELIANVS AVG BUST: Radiate, Cuirassed, Facing Right REV: RESTITVTOR ORBIS (Restorer of the World) DESCRIPTION: Victory standing right presenting wreath to Emperor standing left, suppliant captive between them. PROPS: Victory: palm branch; Emperor: spear EXERGUE: XXI REFERENCE: RIC V-1, 369 Cyzicus Photographed June 24, 2011 Report this Post to the Staff

The portrait is clearly a post-Diocletian type. It's a coin of Constans, reverse legend FEL TEMP REPARATIO, emperor standing on galley holding labarum and globe (with perhaps either Victory or a phoenix on top of the globe), with Victory steering the ship behind him. I can't make out the mintmark clearly, but here's a similar example from Arles mint. 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

If you try, the older ones are deleted and replaced with the newer ones. Either change the filenames or re-download them tomorrow. 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
