<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 3037673, member: 82549"]I have an antoninianus of Gordian III with an obverse legend that should probably read IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG but actually reads FHL rather than FEL. Many Greek legends represent E with an H, but I can't find any other examples of a Gordian ant that does this. Is this very common? Does anyone have any other examples? I just received this coin, so I don't have a photo yet, but I can take one and add it to this thread if this seems unusual. The reverse is VIRTVTI AVGVSTI, and depicts Hercules leaning on a club.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
