    Hello ladies and gentlemen,
    I am attributing the last coins I won, at least time flies faster until Thursday when hopefully they arrive :)

    The auction house (they are usually correct) attributed it as

    Claudius II (Gothicus) AD 268-270. Siscia Billon Antoninianus 20 mm., 3,22 g.

    After studying the pictures, I think it is RIC V Claudius Gothicus 52
    http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.5.cg.52
    .... but the mint is specified as Rome.

    Why Siscia? is there any way of telling?
    I am not mainly interested in late 3rd century, but I bought this coin because I don't have another Claudius Gothicus and fills a gap.

    Not sure why they mentioned Siscia as I cannot even find this coin type minted in Siscia. Usually they are quite OK with descriptions, they don't mention the RIC numbers or confirm the reverse types/legends, which is great fun for me as I love attributing them myself.
