Well, this topic has been quiet for a while, so here's another misspelling to revive it.
It seems that AEQVITAS is often spelled AEQVTAS in a few of the coins posted here. It also seems that many of them are probably from Antioch. This Claudius Gothicus is supposedly from Rome (RIC 15).

My newest shot:

Gordianus III. antoninianus
P M TR P III (instead of II) reverse legend with IMP GORDIANVS... obverse legend (instead of IMP CAES M ANT...)

Is the PROVIDENTIA AVGG not the standard reverse legend?

Hello Tibsi , to tell you the truth it was listed like that .
Since you mentioned this section – Thank You - by posting your coin.
So I posted this coin of mine here , maybe members know something.

Maybe they mean PRO the R looks like an A ?

I can't decide it by this picture.

I'm have a similar pair: PAX AETERN or AETEAN?

Romanorum · « **Reply #231 on:** March 09, 2014, 05:52:06 pm »

That R definitely looks like an A. I read AETEAN. Distracted engraver?

Jochen · « **Reply #232 on:** March 09, 2014, 06:14:33 pm »

I don't think that this is a legend error, but only a R which is open at top. This occurs not rarely.

That was my first impression, but the more I looked at it... The R in the coin on the left has brackets (little wiggles) that come out of it, which aren't present in the one on the right. I have also seen a number of R's that are open at top, but the stems (two vertical bars) on the letters are quite similar and have the same structure of other A's in the same legend. The right stem of the A in question is quite straight, and both brackets are the same length (an open R would probably have a slightly shorter right stem). As a point of comparison, the "P" at the beginning of the legend does have a bracket, which should be present in the R.
Or maybe I'm just seeing things!

Yes, the 'A' letters have same shape.

Great shot!

I went through all these messages and indeed, a neat thread this is! Very few early errors appear to exist from Rome, especially in silver or gold. Although this particular coin is already in my gallery, I thought of bringing it here as well. I have by this date seen more than 1500 Otho denarii or aurei (or pictures of them) and this reverse die is the only one with an error - OTHONS instead of OTHONIS!
