Help with ID late Roman
« on: August 16, 2014, 12:41:12 am »
This one should be easy by now, but, it seems odd.  AE 4 (11.31 grams).  Bust right / Victory advancing left (something on shoulder?), dragging captive?


Perhaps a barbaric imitative?  Or, something easier I have missed?

Thanks

11.31 grams  ??? - impossible for AE 4. Diameter?

A slip?

I also vote for a contemporary imitation.

Definatly a "barbaric" issue, nice style, but an illiterate die engraver...
