Plautilla / Zeus help with ID
« on: September 11, 2010, 06:01:26 pm »
I have been trying to ID this Plautilla and have had no luck- any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like a coin struck At Nicopolis under the legate Aurelius Gallus.

Thank you Pete!

So now the reverse legend makes sense to me!

 :Greek_Upsilon: :Greek_Pi: :Greek_Alpha: :Greek_Upsilon: :Greek_Rho: :Greek_Pi_2: :Greek_Alpha: :Greek_Lambda: :Greek_Lambda: :Greek_Omicron: :Greek_Upsilon: :Greek_Nu: :Greek_Iota: :Greek_Kappa: :Greek_Omicron: :Greek_Pi: :Greek_Omicron: :Greek_Lambda: :Greek_Iota: :Greek_Tau:  :Greek_Omega:
Beneath: :Greek_Pi: :Greek_Rho: :Greek_Omicron: C  :Greek_Iota:

I cannot find a reference number for Plautilla- anyone with the correct references?
Thank you!

Nice find! A coin much less common than one would suppose.
