JAnnW Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 http://www.flickr.com/photos/49314257@N03/5584927738/ I've no idea what this is, afraid it is terribly worn, so may not be possible to tell. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Roman bronze antoninianus. c. 260 AD - 310 AD ish. That whole era was full of these pieces (usually with a silver content between 0% and 5%), all with the Emperor wearing a radiate crown. Reverse looks like a personification/person/god/goddess holding a cornucopia. Obverse is too worn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAnnW Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thank you both. My hunch was Roman. I have a much nicer Roman coin, will post it later. (Hope it's real!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arminius Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 A potin tetradrachm from Alexandria/Egypt. Eagle reverse plus legend "ETOYC - A" = regnal year 1. Unfortunately the name of the emperor is not visible. It should be one of those later roman emperors from the second half of the third century (ca. 250-300 AD.). Maybe this Tacitus: EGYPT, Alexandria. Tacitus. 275-276 AD. BI Tetradrachm (ca. 20mm, ca. 7 gm). Dated RY 1 (275/6 AD). Laureate and cuirassed bust right / Eagle standing left, head turned right, holding wreath in beak; ETOVC A (date) in field. Cf. Köln coll. 3110 ; Dattari 5521A ; Milne - ; Emmett 3974 .
