RIC does not list any dupondii that exhibit the Jupter standing reverse during the years of COS III. So going just by RIC, it must be COS IIII....
AE Dupondius, Rome mint: 156-157 AD. Obv.: ANTONINVS AVG PIVS [PP IMP II]; radiate head right. Rev.: [TR POT XX] COS IIII; Jupiter, naked,...
Wow Chris, nice cleaning job! I would NOT have bought that uncleaned coin. I guess you've got to have an eye for them.
Yes, unquestionably. The Nabataeans used Ptolemaic coinage extensively in their shipping trade between Gaza and Alexandria during the 3rd-century...
I had a feeling you were up to something brilliant. The CNR is fabulous! And congratulations on an outstanding token.

Another excellent coin! I've only recently begun studying the Valentinian Dynasty and its coinage. Here's a scarce coin I posted some time ago,...

Another magnificent coin, SD. Keep up the good work!
That's an extremely nice coin, VK, and it makes a handsome set with the sestertius and AE denarius. And Mat, your collection of Lucillas is always...

I've posted my AE type set of Rabbel II before, but recently cherry-picked a coin that I thought I might never come across. Rabbel ascended the...
1. Some sort of antoninianus, can't make out the emperor. 2. No clue. 3. VRBS ROMA commemorative with soldiers/standard reverse - scarce! - much...
