Hey guys - I was wondering if you could help me ID this Roman Provincial coin. It appears to say "ANTON" on the front, and Idk about the back. Any help would be appreciated:
Possibly Caracalla, but certainly “Eros resting on torch” on the reverse. Good research! http://eroscoin.blogspot.com/2011/03/introduction.html
I have one similar to that, from Hadrianopolis. They were also minted in Nicopolis ad Istrum, Traianopolis, and a few other cities, I believe. Caracalla, AD 198-217. Roman provincial AE 17.1 mm, 3.44 g, 11 h. Thrace, Hadrianopolis, AD 198-217. Obv: AVT K M AVP CE ANTΩNEINOC, laureate head, right. Rev: AΔΡIANOΠOΛEITΩN, Nude Eros in attitude of Thanatos standing right, left leg crossed over right, leaning with right hand and left elbow on inverted lit torch. Refs: Varbanov 3526; Jurukova, Hadrianople 390.2; CN 5217; Moushmov 2615; cf. SNG Cop 271. Notes: Reverse die match to CN 5217 specimen (Nacionalen Arheologičeski Institut s Muzej, Sofia, no. 1566).
