[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7598917, member: 80952"]Hello ladies and gentlemen. I am trying to take pics of some coins I have for years. Again, it's late here so my pics are not how they should (I really need to change the lightbulbs with something more photo friendly), but it's a step forward from my phone pics :) Have this for a long time and it was described as Caracalla from Pautalia. When I bought it, spending a full 5 EUR on it, I didn't study it properly as I thought that knowing the ruler and the city is enough to have a coin attributed. Now I want to be a little more specific. [ATTACH=full]1308536[/ATTACH] After trying to read the legends and comparing to other Caracalla and Pautalia coins, I think the legends are AV K C ANTΩNINOC / OYΛΠIAC ΠAYTAΛIAC But, does anybody have an attribution for it, as I can't find a match on acsearch/coinarchives/wildwinds. It appears to be Caracalla indeed and the reverse is a snake coiled around an altar.[/QUOTE]
