Wolf Suckling Twins
« on: March 28, 2023, 09:59:34 pm »
Roman Coin, Probably Provincial.
33mm, 15g

I’ve checked quite a few sources and I can’t find this coin listed anywhere

Obverse
Taken with angled light to bring out the otherwise not visible left-facing portrait.  No legend is visible.

Reverse
Wolf suckling twins.
Field text above perhaps partial, appears to be  Δ Ϛ Κ✶
Partial field text below, appears to be  Ο Π (or pi)

Who can help me please?
