[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 4304809, member: 80783"]Hallo Dirk, das ist ein feines Stück!!! I think that the 8-legged horse type had it´s origin in two horses next to each other. The germanic delators left away the second head and the biga that they found on the roman original because that only distracted from the character of Sleipnir that they wanted to see. Any suggestion which Emperor / reverse type might have inspired your coin? Here is my imitation of an Aureus, found in the adjacent Ternopil oblast: [ATTACH=full]1095277[/ATTACH] IIII-IT — IIIIII - laureate and cuirassed bust of Diocletian or Maximian left. II — IISIII (the S reversed) - helmeted Roma seated left on throne with X beneath seat, holding Victory on extended right hand and resting on sceptre held in left. Aureus (gold plated over base metal core), irregular mint in western Ukraine, Chernvyakhov culture, Ternopil region, ca. 300-310 aD 19,83 mm / 2,56 gr. / pierced in antiquity Oleg Anohin "Counterfeiting among barbarian tribes in the territory of modern Ukraine and Moldova. Catalog of barbaric imitations" (2015), Nr.87 (this coin illustrated) ex Savoca Numismatik 17th Blue auction (01.03.2019), lot 1894[/QUOTE]
