<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 2107760, member: 42034&quot;]This one is my latest: not yet even in hand, just negotiated the purchase.&nbsp; Roman Empire, gold semissis, Julius Nepos.&nbsp; The next to last Emperor of the Western Roman Empire, r. 474 - 475 AD.&nbsp; I&#039;m going to forgo getting a Romulus Augustus for now.&nbsp; Rome was having severe stability problems at this point in time. I don&#039;t think even the barbarians bothered to strike copies of these, preferring copying the better known Emperors.</p><p><font size="3">for those new to Rome:&nbsp; DN = Dominum Noster = &quot;Our Lord&quot;, IVL = Julius, NEPOS = same, PF = <i>Pius Felix</i>, Dutiful and Fortunate, AVG = Augustus meaning Emperor</font></p><p><font size="3">CONOB has some meaning with pure gold of Constantinople although this coin was not struck there</font></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.coinsandhistory.com/pix_coin/Rome_Julius-Nepos_tremissis_low.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
