Dusky Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hi!I bought these coins about 10 years ago ( given im only 19 thats a long time ago!) and always adored them, just because theyre old. As I'm growing older I'd like to know who's pictured on thse. I know they arent in th ebest condition, but I hope someone will recognise any of these).Also, the very oxidated coins, should I try and clean them? Or leave them as they are? ( some are really unreadable du eto a buildup of oxidation)Many thanks! You can download the pics and zoom in quite big ( 16mp pics) after clicking on them ( theyre on photobucket) 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Many many thanks!

ccg Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 If someone else doesn't come by I'll try to revisit this post and pull out some references for a better attribution, but from a quick glance, my best guesses would be 1. Crispus 2. Constantine I 3. Constans 4. Someone from Constantine's family 5. Probably mid-later 4th century 7. 4th century. The spear showing up in the portrait should assist with the attribution of this votive type 6,8,9 appear to be "radiate" pieces from the mid-late 3rd century Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn235 Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 6 - Try Claudius II 7 - Almost certainly Julian II. He was the only one of the Constantine dynasty who had a beard on his coins. 8 - Try Gallienus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
