    No, I'm not confused, I just thought you thought the coin was a denarius.

    A very elegant portrait. Sometimes you just have to sit back and admire a coin's style. Congrats!

    The face strikes me as more likely Valerian. The reverse figure has no cornucopia and looks a bit more like Jupiter. PACATORI ORBIS C. 145

    Thanks Doug! I'll have to do further research but I remember when I got this one questioning the attribution. :facepalm:

    That coin has lovely toning! Here's my humble example:

    Philip II PRINCIPI IVVENT Antoninianus.jpg

    And the corresponding sestertius (which is one of my favorite coins):

    I recently got a Philip II as (at least I think it is an as) - a fairly scarce denomination for this kid, I believe. It isn't very pretty. It weighs 7.46 grams:
