It has IOVI CONS AVG as a reverse inscription -- it's a goat (the association of Jupiter with Amalthea): [ATTACH] It's part of Gallienus's...
Update: I notified Dane over at Wildwinds, who corrected the error.
But then you have to deal with the Sydenham problem! :D:D:D Very nice coin, btw, with a delightful portrait!
I'm quite sure it's Maximianus; the visible inscription matches no other emperor of the era. Emmett 4148 is of "Nike flying left" (without...
I have written in the past about dubious listings in RIC for Faustina I, Faustina II, Julia Soaemias and Julia Mamaea, in which RIC lists coins --...

Ancient coins were produced similarly in principle, but all by hand along the way. [MEDIA] [MEDIA]
With that nose, I would consider Nerva.
My approach is similar to @Orfew , but I don't put much stock into RIC's estimate of rarity. Often, the authors of RIC simply cite Cohen, not only...
SPQR is great!! I've advocated collecting her list of 14 emperors (chapter 10) as an alternative to Suetonius' 12 Caesars.
ANTONINE DYNASTY: [ATTACH] Antoninus Pius, AD 138-161. Roman AR denarius, 3.18 g, 18.2 mm, 6 h. Rome, AD 148-149. ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P TR P...
She's probably the one who made them in the first place! ;)
A few of the nicer ones: [IMG] Maximinus II Daza, AD 309-313, as Augustus. Roman Æ follis, 21.4 mm, 4.88 g, 12 h. Antioch, AD 312. Obv: IMP C GAL...
