    I have this Antoninus Pius/Homonoia (Mule) and I need some help to work out the legend (and it's meaning) please?
    If I have it right it is (Greek) AYTKTAIΛAΔP ANTWNEINOCCEBC
    (English) AUTKTDILADR ANTWNEINO (CCEBC)
    (The 'Reverse is simply 'HOMONOIA')

    Does anyone have any ideas please?

    From 8:00 reading clockwise I read ΑΥΤ Κ Τ ΑΙΛ ΑΔΡ ΑΝΤѠΝЄΙΝΟC CЄΒЄΥC.

    Greek for IMP C T AEL HADR ANTONINUS PIUS -- Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Pius.

    Not a mule, either. That is a year 8 bronze drachm of Alexandria, Emmett 1581.

    CNG is misreading the year on the reverse here. It is year 8 (eta H, not IΓ); it IS listed in Emmett (1581) and it is NOT a mule.

    @Roman Collector
    O.K. I found it on CNG and accepted their conclusion.
    Thank-you for ALL of that information. I really appreciate that, (blown away).
    Thank-you, again.
    (This is what I was working from.)
