Well done Al and it's made that little bit more unusual by being a Antoninianus and not a Denarius. Lovely find ;)

Why is it different?


Title: Re: deadlock first roman silver
Post by: Chef Geoff on September 16, 2011, 06:25:40 PM
Because it is son, because it is lol. Well the way to tell is that the Emperor in this case as RB has said Gallienus, is wearing a radiate crown, And the good thing about it is that it's bigger than a Denarius and was worth 2 Denarius.
