who is the emperor ?
« on: June 19, 2007, 06:32:03 pm »
Here is a sestertius.
Can someone tell me the emperor who is and so possible what the ID of this coin?

Thanks

Look like an empress to me... But that is a guess otherwise I would say Gordian III?

Best Regards

Hi Tanit,

Your other coin gave me the clue. I am now almost sure it is Trajan Decius. IMP C M Q TRAIANVS DECIVS AVG.
The reverse is probably the two Pannoniae and so possibly RIC IV iii : 124.

Alex.

Of course not  :)

I would never has guessed Trajan since I think the portrait is to far of but that might be caused by the condition of the coin?

just from the portrait I thought Severus Alexander....but I can see a worn Trajan Decius.
