[QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 3840008, member: 96898"]This is a very hard one – if it had come earlier, I would probably guessed that it is [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] 's coin. Yet, I already suggested him to be the owner of coin #2... Thus, I'll guess [USER=81887]@Parthicus[/USER] for this one. He mainly collects more eastern coins but has been known to stray, and this looks like a coin he might find aesthetically appealing. I don't have a quadrans from this series to show, but here is another coin showing Mars (and an impressive beard): [ATTACH=full]1019333[/ATTACH] [SIZE=3]Postumus, Gallic Roman Empire, AR antoninian, 263 AD, Trier mint. Obv: IMP C POSTVMVS P F AVG; bust of Postumus, radiate, draped, cuirassed, r. Rev: P M TR P IIII COS III P P; Mars, walking r., holding spear in r. hand and trophy in l. hand. 21mm, 2.84g. Ref: Mairat 255; RIC V Postumus 57.[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
