Hi all
I bought this coin quite cheaply as an ancient
counterfeit dupondius of
Domitian.
But somehow it doesn't look like
Domitian, does it ?
The
legend is pretty much illegible with VS(?)KAI_IVA--- on the right. The
reverse shows a female deity (
Concordia?) seated on a curule (?) chair, resting her left
arm on a
cornucopiae and holding a vertical
sceptre or spear in her right hand. The only letters I can see here are II PP to the right of the
cornucopiae.
I do realise it's an ancient
counterfeit but I'd be interested to know who the
obverse bust is supposed to represent. It looks a
bit like
Macrinus (unbearded) or Treb Gallus, that sort of period.
Any ideas?
