<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harris498, post: 2032540, member: 44268&quot;]Hey, guys. I stumble in here every so often when one of you guys posts a coin along with a great historical back-story. I can see why you guys love your ancients, but the field is just too intimidating for me at the moment. Plus, I&#039;m pretty lousy at attribution.</p><p>Which brings me to my point. I&#039;ve had this ancient bronze kicking around in my foreign box for a couple of years now, and just recently unearthed it. It is about 23mm in diameter, weighs roughly 7.5g, and has a bust on the obverse facing left. The reverse has what I believe is referred to as the &#039;Macedonia Shield&#039;, which looks pretty wicked, in my opinion. I don&#039;t know if this makes the coin Macedonian, I was at one point under the assumption that the coin was Roman.</p><p>I had written on the corner of the flip that it was in: &quot;Claudius? Tiberius? Rare Emperor?&quot; I&#039;m under no illusion that this is a <i>good</i> ancient coin, but would love to hear if someone can pin down the emperor. Thanks in advance, everyone! Cruddy pictures to follow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
