Title: Roman Coin Post by: kevinmansfield on May 04, 2015, 05:09:44 PM Hello folks,
Found this little one abandoned a foot down in a field last week, so I've taken it home to look after it. Anyone know of it's origins? Title: Re: Roman Coin Post by: probono on May 04, 2015, 09:02:52 PM Theodora, second wife of Constantius I, AE 15mm. Struck before April 340 AD. FL MAX THEO-DORAE AVG, mantled bust right / PIETAS-ROMANA, Pietas standing facing, head right, holding infant to breast
Mint mark is a little off the flan sadly - but probably Trier mint Title: Re: Roman Coin Post by: Dryland on May 05, 2015, 12:00:20 AM Well found Kev

That's ok :) - I always have to look them up because I can never quite remember the reverse types for Helena / Theodora / Fausta Title: Re: Roman Coin Post by: Rob Two Spades on May 05, 2015, 03:58:05 PM That's a nice find :)
