<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tcore, post: 404874, member: 2949&quot;]jeankay,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ardatirion&#039;s description is most likely correct.&nbsp; The obverse is so worn that the only part of the legend I can make out for sure is IMP starting on the lower left.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just remember, the reverse can&#039;t be JOVI VICTORI because the reverse is fairly clear and those letters are not there.&nbsp; Rember, legends on Roman coins run together into one big, long string of letters.&nbsp; But, if you start looking at these regularly, you will start to recognize the letters (even though they are stylized) and you will start to recognize certain phrases that repeat themselves over and over on Roman coins such as:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>IMP - Imperator</p><p>AVG - Augustus</p><p>TR P - Tribunician Potestas (has the Tribunician power)</p><p>PP - Pater Patriae (father of his country)</p><p>COS - Consul</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Have fun![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
