[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 5294017, member: 80952"]Hello ladies and gents, One of the coins Santa Claus brought me is this Antoninus Pius Libertalitas denarius [ATTACH=full]1222433[/ATTACH] Even if I recently discovered Greek coins, I won't refuse a 1st or 2nd century Denarius. Not yet under the Christmas three, but I already started to attribute them. This would be RIC 234 Obverse Legend: ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P TR P XVII Type: Head of Antoninus Pius, laureate, right Reverse Legend: LIBERALITAS VII COS IIII Type: Liberalitas, draped, standing left, emptying coins out of cornucopiae, held in both hands What bothers me is the reverse legend break LIBERALIT - AS VII COS IIII. All the other examples I found for this coin don't have this split and "LIBERTALITAS" is unbroken.
