Title: Re: found today roman Post by: handyman [Alan} on January 02, 2012, 06:04:15 PM got the hint of an early denarii about it -- i'm having difficulty reading the letters, but my eyesight ain't what it used to be!
i think it says antoninus Title: Re: found today roman Post by: Chef Geoff on January 02, 2012, 07:04:42 PM As Alan has said it's of Antoninus Pius but I'm having a little problem matching the two sides and I'm beggining to smell a contemporary copy :-\

Divus Antoninus Pius, AR Denarius, 161, Rome DIVVS ANTONINVS Bare head right DIVO PIO Large shrine with doors closed RIC III, 441 (Marcus Aurelius) (http://www.beastcoins.com/Topical/Architecture/Altars/AntoninusPius-RICIII-441-NoBreaks.jpg) Title: Re: found today roman Post by: Chef Geoff on January 02, 2012, 08:05:35 PM Well I stand corrected big time...lol, I couldn't find it :-[
Title: Re: found today roman Post by: The Doc on January 02, 2012, 08:08:09 PM Sorry Geoff, just changed it to a slightly different one. This one is closer I think although the shrine is a different shape.
