    Bought it unattributed (and cheap). Its not in hand yet and the size wasn't described. Because of the style of the bust, the VS before "P F", and what looks to be "SPES" on the campgate reverse I am thinking (and hoping) its Magnus Maximus. What say you?

    Sorry about the quality; these are the seller's scans.

    chrsmat71 I LIKE TURTLES!

    i bet your correct vk, just comparing with some coins online. starts with DN...looks like the right legend is "MVS PF AVG" to me...and the style is of the type.

    (Trying my hand at using Tesorillo.com) From the campgate and visible "SPE", it must be either Magnus Maximus or Flavius Victor, right? The obverse characters following DN looks more like M than FL so my vote is Magnus Maximus.

    Photo edited to bring out details-- it didn't help much.

    Thanks for your opinions guys. I'm more convinced now that it is him. Good thing since this Mag Max type had been on my wish list for a while. Not in the best shape but for $8 I'm not complaining.
