Can you please help me identify this antonnianus ? it should be Aurelian. I cannot find other examples. It has a long and split obverse legend : ....AVR....LIANVS..AVG (possible IMP C L DOM AVRELIANVS P F AVG) , reverse : VIRTVS AV......I (possible VIRTVS AVGVSTI) Mintmark XX... , Officina letter delta ? 20mm / 2.4g I found others two Aurelian types with the same reverse legend, but not this one. RIC 98: VIRTVS AVGVSTI: Mars, walking right RIC 99: VIRTVS AVGVSTI: Trophy between two captives
I have a coin like that of Numerian. The legend is IMP C M AVR NVMERIANVS P F AVG which I think would fit with what I can see in your picture. http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.5.car.466
After StevePM points us in the right direction it is easier to see a R before IANVS while Aurelian would require an L in that spot. Often ID problems are made worse when we assume something we should not. Mine is a bit different but similar.
Yep. Neck's too short for Aurelian: Aurelian Augustus, A.D. 270-275 Billon Antoninianus Cyzicus mint Obv: IMP C AVRELIANVS AVG Rev: ORIENS AVG - Sol, standing left, raising right hand and holding globe in left; captive at feet XXL in exergue RIC 360 22mm, 3.8g.
