My eyes are getting old. I cant really see, but it looks like Delmatius from Siscia. If so, you have it right.

 

Yes, Delmatius (sometimes Dalmatius), GLORIA EXERCITVS type, one standard. Your image is too small for me to make out the mint mark, but it's obviously readable. A scarcer emperor, nice find!

 

Congratulations @bsr045 Great coin and WELCOME to the Ancients Forum!

I have a couple of your type that you can compare with...


RI Delmatius 335-337 CE Quarter Folles CHI RHO banner flanked by 2 soldiers Sear 3131

I probly got these from @John Anthony ... he overloads me on the cool coins...

 

No camera makes files with names like proxy.php. Why did you convert it? Most cameras will make an image many times larger than needed to post online but something like 600 pixels where yours is 180 would be more appropriate. From what I can see, the coin is very nice. These usually are very scrappy compared to your good looking coin.

 

Nice find!!! It appears to be an unusually attractive example as well.

 

Now when y'all say "LRBC"..... what do you mean?

 

"Late Roman Bronze Coins"

 

Still one of the best sites for beginners to attribute LRBC:

Some better picture, Thanks for the replies!

 

I still can't see the appeal of avoiding JPG files (I suspect that is what the camera produced) and reducing the file to such a small size without cropping the dead space which would have save bytes if you are conserving bandwidth and allowed the image to be large enough to read the mintmark easily.

 

Better? lol

 

Nice ... now I can click on your photo => and I zoom-in like I'm in your living room!! (ummm, do ya got anything to drink around this place?)

 

Well, sort of

Instead of two massive pictures, each with 7.5% coin and 92.5% background, how about one picture with 70% coin and 30% background? An overall width of 1000 pixels is more than enough.



Nice coin!! This was from an uncleaned lot?! Wow-- I wish I'd found something so nice in my few forays into uncleaned coins

 

All you have to do is have a look at this and attribute it fully

After looking at TIF's photos, I have convinced myself that I can not ID the coin. Obviously I am overthinking this or missing something. Please, someone who thinks this one is easy, tell me the RIC reference.

 

Is the I in GLORIA missing? I can't make out the mint mark either.

 

There is a Rome mintmark R star S, but that coin spells his name DEL and this is DAL.

 

Here is mine for comparison from Siscia
