<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 7322393, member: 75937&quot;]Those are good questions. I suppose I shouldn&#039;t have accepted RIC V.2 uncritically, because the reverse description there calls it a parazonium. My coin is 124, bust type C.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1279690[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1279695[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>How about this one?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/valerian-i-pietas-avgg-antoninianus-jpg.1170293/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Valerian I, AD 253-260.</p><p>Roman AR antoninianus, 2.75 g, 20 mm, 7 h.</p><p>Uncertain Eastern mint, 2nd emission, AD 256-260.</p><p>Obv: IMP C P LIC VALERIANVS·P·F·AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen from the front.</p><p>Rev: PIETAS AVGG, Valerian, holding eagle-tipped scepter, and Gallienus, holding parazonium, standing facing each other, sacrificing over lighted altar between them.</p><p>Refs: RIC 285; Göbl 1684e; Cohen/RSC 152; RCV 9955; Hunter 73.</p><p>Notes: The ANS attributes this issue to Cyzicus, Göbl to Samosata, and RIC to Antioch. According to the introduction of RIC volume V, during Valerian&#039;s reign, some coins minted in Asia cannot certainly be attributed to either Antioch or Cyzicus (p.22-26). RIC dates this issue to AD 255-56.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Next: Portrait with a very prominent brow. </b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
