kevikens Posted September 23, 2022 · Member Share Posted September 23, 2022 Hi, guys. I need some help with an ID on this 28 mm, 11 gram bronze from a Roman Provincial mint. The coin is well worn so the inscription is only partial. I thought I could see Septimius Severus there but I don't think I have ever seen a beardless Septimius, unless the heavy wear has worn it smooth. The reverse is not much of a help either. Any ideas much appreciated. Thanks. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Julius Posted September 24, 2022 · Member Share Posted September 24, 2022 I think it’s Geta with a legend something like AVT K Π CEΠTI ΓETAC… there are other provincial coins of Geta with this legend. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what does OU (Greek rendering of V) APIAS mean? Edited September 24, 2022 by kevikens forgot something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
