ccg Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I believe the obverse inscription is "DIVVS AVGVSTVS PATER", "God Augustus, Father (of the nation)" It is a postumous issue. Unfortunately, I don't have any specialized books for this time period, so I don't have further attribution for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The provedentia with the temple (Janus I believe) always has the big SC to the left and right. The reverse looks more like a RIC 181 of Nero but that wouldn't match the obverse.

bill Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Could it be a provincial issue? I don't recognize the image from my scan of RIC. I don't have the provincial volumes that cover the period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the provincial volumes that cover the period. Could be, I only have the original edition of RIC and then the Sear books not the provincial volumes. How big is that coin?

Victor Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I don't believe this is ancient. The features are soft and the flan is too thick. It appears to be attempting to copy the coin I have attached. It was probably a copy meant to deceive tourists. Divus Augustus Æ As. Struck under Tiberius, circa 31-37 AD. DIVVS AVGVSTVS PATER, radiate head left / S-C either side of large altar, PROVIDENT in ex. Cohen 228, RIC 81 [tib], Cohen 228 [aug], BMC 146.
