roman coin
« on: September 30, 2012, 06:41:04 am »
Good morning,


Once again I would need some help to identify this roman ( I think ) coin.

Diameter : 30mm
Weight : about 25g

Obverse : bearded head looking right
Reverse : woman (?) with helmet standing, looking left

Looks like RIC14 or BMC37 ... but I am not sure since I barely know nothing about roman coinage...

Thank you for educating me a little :)

Maybe this Marcus Aurelius sestertius, Rome mint 153-154 AD.:



RIC (A.Pius) no. 1314

Or this one. Can you read the number for the TR POT in your coin.On the pic I can't.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, the number of the TR POT is completely gone.
I can only read the letters "AU" in front of Marcus Aurelius(?) mouth...
The woman standing seems to occupy less space on my coin than on yours...
