<p>[QUOTE="TuckHard, post: 4283724, member: 102653"]Here are a couple of coins that I've been working with recently and would appreciate any second opinions or additional eyes making sure these are correct. I'm still learning my way around Roman coins and these are the second and third Byzantine pieces I've gotten to buy so I'm not too sure about them. The Seleucid coin looks very close to another that I have so I'm fairly sure it's correct. If anyone else has any coins that they have been stumped by recently or wanted a pair of second-eyes to confirm, please feel free to share!</p><p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1089946[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center">Roman Empire</p> <p style="text-align: center">AE Follis; 1.28g 14mm</p> <p style="text-align: center">Issued under Honorius</p> <p style="text-align: center">406-408 CE</p> <p style="text-align: center">Obv: Bust of Honorius right, star behind, "[DN HONORI]VS [PF AVG]"</p> <p style="text-align: center">Rev: Three emperors (Arcadius, Honorius and Theodosius II) standing forward, the two outermost holding spears with outer hand and leaning on shields with inner hands, the innermost with head right holding spear in right hand and globe in left hand, "GLORA ROMANO[RVM] ANT"</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1089947[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center">Roman Empire</p> <p style="text-align: center">AE 1.34g 14mm</p> <p style="text-align: center">Issued by Constantine the Great, Constantius II, Constans I, Valens, or Valentinian II</p> <p style="text-align: center">Circa 306-392 CE</p> <p style="text-align: center">Obv: Bust right</p> <p style="text-align: center">Rev: "VOT XX MVLT XXX" in laurel wreath</p> <p style="text-align: center">Notes: I'd really appreciate if there is anyway to narrow this down or if someone else could see any other details.
