Roman Provincial - Nike?
« on: September 25, 2021, 10:11:34 pm »
The obverse seems to have a young ruler, perhaps Alexander Severus or Geta?

The reverse has a somewhat delicate depiction of Nike I think, the readable inscription seems to read "EΠITI" above and "ΣΔΔT" below. Likely both have further inscription after, and possibly before.

The coin weighs 3.7g and is 17mm wide.

Not a big deal if I can't ID this, I have three of them, and this  miserable example is the best, but I'd still like to ID it :)  Hopefully it is easy for someone.

Perhaps this one from Smyrna under Claudius: https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/1/2476

f you will turn the photo so the coin appears upright and crop you photos so we get bigger images, we may be able to do more.

Hi DJMAcdo,

I'm not sure what happened with these photos, they were correctly aligned on my PC when I uploaded them. Yes, I will crop more next upload.

I am not sure, but I think it has to do with some automatic feature that uploads the photos in landscape mode (horizontal) vs. portrait mode (vertical).  When I click on the photos above they do pop up vertically with the correct orientation for the coin.  I have seen this happen occasionally with other posts, also.
