<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 3215858, member: 85693&quot;]Because of an interesting portrait, I bought this damaged, largish Roman Provincial.&nbsp; I figured I&#039;d be able to attribute it, but I am stumped.&nbsp; Hadrianapolis, or somewhere in Thrace was as close as I could come, but I could never find an exact match, mostly because the reverse is so pitted.&nbsp; The portrait/inscription leads me to believe this is Caracalla, but Elagabalus is a possibility, I suppose. </p><p><br /></p><p>The aspects of it that are puzzling on the reverse are the blobs - rocks? waves? - in the exergue.&nbsp; The seated figure - I am guessing Tyche - seems to be sitting on a pile of rocks, rather than a throne - and I found several rock pile examples, but no convincing matches.&nbsp; It is 26 mm and weighs 12.04 grams. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any help would be much appreciated. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]836177[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
