Another Numerian Ant

Posted this in ChrsMats thread, here is my Numerian I mainly got for the reverse type, which isnt seen too often.

It has a very dark green/thick patina.



Numerian (283 - 284 A.D.)
Æ Antoninianus
O: IMP NVMERIANVS AVG, radiate, draped bust right.
R: VNDIQVE VICTORES, Numerian standing left, holding globe and sceptre, captive on each side.
Rome mint
22mm
4.07g
RIC 423, Cohen 120

An important reverse type fallaciously
claiming 'victories on Every Side'.

very cool mat, you have the cool little captives mine is missing.
i read that about our reverse legends...interesting isn't it?

i'll post mine again just for comparison. ...

 

I like reverse types with captives...Think I said that in the other tread. I don't have a Numerian.

 

Still a beauty, did well with that one.

 

Nice coin, Mat ... congrats!!

I already posted my sad comments in chrsmat's thread (no Numerian here)

 

Cool addition Mat. Took me a while to find one.
