    Its supposed to Aemilian..but i'm not so sure now i've got it in hand and looked it over before bidding on it i looked up one from a peep here who's got/had one..and the only way i went on is the exergue that is most likely matched theirs....ring in peeps...put my mind at ease...either way.....i'm thinkin' it Hostilian from what i can see on the obverse legend( i think i see O's S's & T's)...but i've been wrong before(you remember that one time?!:p)...its guaranteed by Littleton coins, altho that's not who i bought it from...i seek the truth so let it fly! :) IMG_0610.JPG IMG_0611.JPG OBV: emperors bust right, REV: Mosia standing left with hands out over bull & lion, 25.5mm, 12.71gms

    It's definitely Hostilian. Aemilian's coins are from year 14; this one is year 13.
