Help with Roman provincial
« on: November 11, 2020, 05:54:31 pm »
Here is a 20.5-21.8 mm bronze coin weighing 6.83 g. The obverse is radiate right with KAICA(P) going clockwise on the left. Any more of the obverse legend is off flan. The reverse is a complete mystery to me. I had thought that the three circular objects at the top (I actually don't know if I've oriented the reverse correctly) were the tops of military standards from a Nicaean coin. I'm not sure that is correct, though. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim

Dear Tim M & Board,

A match for you:

The reverse had me a little puzzled at first too.  Shift it 90 degrees clockwise to orientate it properly.  Hope this helps.


Best regards,

Fantastic! Thanks, Mark. I knew I'd be able to count on a fellow Michigander for help. This is my first coin of Trajan, so I'm doubly excited.

Cheers,
Tim
