Hi all
Last week i received this
AE4 of
Zeno. It is atributed to the
Ravenna mint, thus being minted under Odoacer's reign (476-491 AD), which makes it for me a much more special coin than the 'usual' eastern
AE4's of
Zeno.
If attributed correctly, it should be
RIC X 3650, however i am a little puzzled about the
reverse.
RIC 3650 should only have a
Victory with
wreath and
palm, but this coin also clearly shows a captive next to the
Victory. Additionally there appears to be some (garbled?)
legend.
I cannot really find other pictures of
RIC 3650 online for references though.
Is this some
rare variety, or is the
reverse description in
RIC simply incomplete?
Thanks in advance!
