<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Colby J., post: 3915363, member: 107416&quot;]I have had the <b>worst luck</b> finding almost nothing over the past few days. As some of you might know, I&#039;m spending the week in Rome and brought my detector with me. There was this super nice couple that was from Ireland that let me <b>detect</b> on their farm. (this was a few hours outside the main city--where the Pope&#039;s summer residence is).</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; So after two full days of finding liras and trash I finally found a roman coin. So in the past I have done 4 trips with my <b>bounty hunter</b> and she has done very well. But this time is amazing.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1031977[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; So let&#039;s get down to business. I have some idea of what it might be....</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse: The reverse shows Pax, Fortuna, or Aequitas. But really looking close, you can see a cornucopia and a scale. So I am 90% sure the reverse is aequitas.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: The emperor is bearded so he is after Hadrian. Most likely Marcus Aurelius or A-Pi. But telling by the face, I&#039;d bet it&#039;s Marcus Aurelius. And I also see A-pi. But I can be wrong and it could be A-Pi, so tell me in the comments what it might be.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;m sure you have skimmed the post so here&#039;s the coin:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1031980[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1031981[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Heres the reference of what I think it is:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1031984[/ATTACH]</p><p>Marcus Aurelius</p><p>Date: AD 155 - AD 156</p><p>Denomination: Denarius</p><p>Mint: Rome</p><p>Obverse: AVRELIVS CAES ANTON AVG PII F: Head of Marcus Aurelius, bare, right</p><p>Reverse: TR POT X COS II: Aequitas, draped, standing left, holding scales in extended right hand and vertical rod in left</p><p><br /></p><p>Or it could be:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1031992[/ATTACH]</p><p>Antoninus Pius</p><p>Date: AD 138</p><p>Denomination: Denarius</p><p>Mint: Rome</p><p>Obverse: IMP CAES AEL ANTONINVS AVG: Head of Antoninus Pius, bare, right</p><p>Reverse: PONT MAX TR POT COS: Aequitas, draped, standing left, holding scales in right hand and cornucopiae in left</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I want to hear your opinions.
