<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 3844199, member: 74282&quot;]I&#039;ve been tagged twice in this thread so far so I suppose I should submit a guess and perhaps a Victoriatus or two of my own. I think, based on the photo, that this is a [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER] coin. I know he&#039;s at least a little interested in this period because of the fantastic anonymous denarius he posted a while back. I&#039;ll go ahead and throw in my best guess on who the others belong to as well:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. [USER=97383]@Al Kowsky[/USER] </p><p>2. [USER=81887]@Parthicus[/USER] </p><p>3. [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]</p><p>4. [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER]</p><p>5. [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll be somewhat surprised if any of those are right but I think there&#039;s some misdirection going on here in multiple ways so I&#039;m sticking with my vote.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for victoriati, I&#039;ve got 15 of them now, enough that it&#039;s tough to decide what to share when there&#039;s a post that calls for sharing them. I actually have one that I haven&#039;t shared yet and can&#039;t share because it&#039;s a new, unpublished type but I&#039;m hoping I&#039;ll be able to by the end of the year. Until then, you&#039;ll have to be content with a couple I&#039;ve shared before, in this case two Sicilian examples like the one above:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1019895[/ATTACH]Roman Republic AR Victoriatus(16 mm, 2.98g, 6h). Anonymous, circa 211-208 B.C., Sicilian mint. Laureate head of Jupiter right. Border of dots / Victory right crowning trophy; in exergue, ROMA. Line border.
