[QUOTE="Pellinore, post: 3613176, member: 74834"]TIF, what a great overlay! It makes me liking my coin even more. [ATTACH=full]967677[/ATTACH] Here's a detail pic of the left side of the coin. I can't make much of it. The lettering starts in the middle of the photo, just under the white rim, and goes to the lower right corner. [ATTACH=full]967681[/ATTACH] However, I'm more and more sure of AVPHΛΙ S, and even think there's a Λ before the A, like Dattari says there should be. As for the online picture resource, we have RPC, although no Emmett references are given. Emmett is a collector's guide that with all its shortcomings still stimulates to gather as many types and examples as possible. And this type, be it Lucius or Marcus, both are considered R5 by Emmett, which is not much but still my first R5. But the most dear to me is still the beautiful portrait. And one of the great emperors, even a philosopher himself, is much to prefer as the subject. Lucius doesn't have a great reputation as an emperor.[/QUOTE]
