Herennius Etruscus antoninian with reverse legend error
« on: August 06, 2021, 07:13:39 am »
Hi,

How can you recognize the reverse legend?  I see PRINCIPI NIENTVTIS or IVIENTVTIS.

For me its IVIENTVTIS, and very beautiful coin.  +++ Kim

Which of course is Latin for "dammit I am not going to be able to fit all the letters in".

Hi Tibsi,

IMO, the legends are :

PRINCIPI NIENTVTIS, because the \ sign between the two I I do not have the endpoint like the V used on the top...
this way this letter is the same as the other N seen later in the legend...

Regards

Yes, I favor the NIENTVTIS too.
