[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3772925, member: 85693"]Thanks for those tips, TIF. I was unfamiliar with most of them. I did try the online RPC, but quite frankly, I'm apparently a bit too dim and technophobic to really understand how the search apparatus works. I am okay at using OCRE, but RPC just doesn't work for me as well. I'll keep practicing. It's only in the past couple years I've developed an interest in Roman Provincials - now I am hooked. So interesting, and yet so confusing. And crummy lots of them are very affordable sometimes on eBay - Here is the lot that the OP came from. Top row: an Imperial Trajan as (Spes) and an Antoninus Pius as (Felicitas of some sort, too cruddy to figure entirely out). A Hadrian from Odessos with Theos Megas is in the middle (best of the lot, probably). Below, a Thrace Anchialus "city gate" of Sept. Severus and the OP. The ones I am still working on is another Odessos maybe, with Sept. Severus and a horseman (overstruck on something else - my first Provincial overstrike). One I'll probably never figure out is Crispina or Faustina II - only the "EINA" part is visible and some goddess. Thanks again for your help. [ATTACH=full]1008960[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
