JayAg47 Posted August 17, 2023 · Member Share Posted August 17, 2023 Once again articles fail to convey the message properly. Is it a denarius of Marcus Aurelius or Aelius? Below are two articles showing different coins, I’m leaning towards Marcus Aurelius. https://www.newsweek.com/boy-finds-coin-ancient-rome-after-school-club-1819418?amp=1 https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/ca.movies.yahoo.com/amphtml/8-old-playing-school-sandbox-171926714.html 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambr0zie Posted August 17, 2023 · Member Share Posted August 17, 2023 The article is written by a person who doesn't know the first thing about numismatics. So I am fully sure that what the kid found is probably a Marcus Aurelius denarius but they added a generic picture. Two in fact. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
