Need legend help with this Caracalla
« on: April 20, 2011, 12:11:54 am »
I need help reading these legends. In a previous post I asked for ID help. I have taken better pictures so maybe this will help. Pekka K tentatively ID'd this as the following. 28.8mm and 15.4g

Varbanov has several numbers for both types:
2156 - 2159  (Apollo) and 2457 - 2465 (Temple).
Main differences are on obverse legend and
bust, that are not too clear on Your scans.

Pekka K


Any help is appreciated.
