[QUOTE="Claudius_Gothicus, post: 6525444, member: 116315"]This time, I feel like figuring out the owner of this fantastic coin was easier: the time period, the geographic location and the lighting in the photo all allow me to claim, with relative confidence, that it belongs to [USER=77077]@Theodosius[/USER], though I am not able to refute the theory that a volunteer might have picked a coin completely unrelated to his collecting field just to confuse us :D. Again, unfortunately my YN collection doesn't have any coin of this time period, and I'm even running out of ones to show, so I fear this one will have to do; at least it's one I don't think I have posted before: [ATTACH=full]1260984[/ATTACH] Claudius II (268-270), Antoninianus, Antioch mint. Obverse: IMP C CLAVDIVS AVG, radiate head left; Reverse: SAL-VS AVG, Diana standing right, drawing arrow from quiver and holding bow in hand, facing Apollo standing left, holding olive branch in hand and lyre which rests on rock; RIC 219, RIC V Online 1088[/QUOTE]
