bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 10/06/2011 6:24 pm I think it might be Gallienus: AR antoninianus - RIC 5a, 18 GALLIENVS P F AVG, Radiate and cuirassed bust left, holding shield and spear GERMANICVS MAX V, Trophy; at base, two seated captives, hands bound. RIC V 18; MIR 36, 872m; RSC 310 - Minted AD 257-258. The captives may be Persian but I'm not sure. Edited by bobbyhelmet 10/06/2011 6:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Bobbyhelmet is the clear winner. Sometimes I just have extra time on my hands so I have the time to look things up. But I'm no expert for sure, Bobbyhelmet on the other hand is much more knowledgeable. In my case, I need independent confirmation as I am just as often wrong as right. So please, don't let us keep you from chiming in on any given post. Regards, JW Report this Post to the Staff
