Maybe I'm getting too old but this one does puzzle me.
This is a pic from a PhD submitted 15 years ago. The coin ( AE 21 mm, 1.7 g but
part is missing) was not identified by the author, who just says it is
Roman, 3rd or 4th C AD. It was found on the ground during a survey in northern Saudi
Arabia. Maybe a more precise ID is possible, but I don't find...
If you find what it is, many thanks!
EDIT : For me it could be an
antoninianus of
Probus,
reverse Clementia Temporum, but the
style looks unusual, the shape of the letters too. Are oriental imitations of this coinage known?
