I think I have this one but need confirmation!

[rick fox]

I am pretty sure this is an Aurelian

I think the Obverse is: IMPCAVRELIANVSAVG
and I know the Reverse is: Soli Invicto

The exergue looks like S XXI (What would the S be?)

I think the reverse is Sol holding (or trampling) 2 captives while holding a branch and bow.


The actual coin is in a lot better shape than the scan (especially at 2400 dpi)

Am I correct in my attrib?

Hi Rick!

Yes, you are right! It is an antoninianus of Aurelian. RIC V/1, 154; mint of Ticinum; common. It is described as follows:
obv. IMP C AVRELIANVS AVG, bust cuirassed r.
rev. SOLI INVICTO, Sol walking l. between two captives, sometimes treading one down, r. hand raised, l. holding globe; generally in field to l., star

This type has been struck in four officinae: P, S, T and Q (prima, secunda, tertia, quarta). So your coin is from the 2nd officina.

Best regards
