As of Nerva, AEQVITAS?
« on: February 16, 2007, 05:51:32 pm »
Hi all!
This as of Nerva (?) is in bad condition, can any of you identify it further?
25mm, 10.3g

Thanks!

Certainly looks like Aequitas standing l. holding scales and cornucopia, where the scales fall either side of the S in S-C.

That's exactly how I see it! Either RIC 51 or 77 (COS II / COS III)

Thanks!
It's impossible to distinguish between COS II or III, that part of the inscription is completely worn, but this is very helpful.
