[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 7888407, member: 82549"]Congratulations--scarce, interesting coin in very nice condition. The next time everyone starts dumping on eBay again you should post that coin and then listen for the sound of everyone munching on their own words. It's surprising that HOST does not appear anywhere in the obverse inscription. That's probably why the seller didn't recognize the emperor. Alas, my only Hostilian is a modest provincial from Viminacium: [ATTACH=full]1360993[/ATTACH] Provincial Bronze (AE26) Moesia Superior, Viminacium Obv: C VAL HOST M QVINTVS C Rev: P M S COL VIM - Moesia, standing between bull and lion AN XII in exergue Moushmov 55 25x27mm, 12.2g.[/QUOTE]
