    Weighing 15.42 g. , this Roman bronze coin has the famous She-Wolf suckling the twin brothers on reverse. The obverse shows a Roman Emperor that I couldn't identify, though it might be easy for many coin-friends here. I could read M O P S and E V E and then possibly M A . It might be Macrinus but I'm not sure at all. Please try guessing.

    The full name of Macrinus includes
    OPELLlVS and he took also the name SEVERVS which those letters abbreviate. It is Macrinus.
