This one has me stumped. It is 14MM 2.8 grams. Athena on the obverse? Scylla on the reverse? Some sort of snake-monster? Any help greatly...

I think this is the dupondius version of the OP - Pax stomping on a Dacian. It won't win any beauty contests either. [ATTACH] Trajan Æ...

Nice temple, David. Any temple is a good temple, as far as I am concerned. Here is a recent one I got in a lot. As RC notes, the actual...
