<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 1650390, member: 40017&quot;]I posted a group of Byzantine coins that were brought to me at a coin fair on Sunday earlier on this forum. At the same time I got a larger group of Roman base metal coins - also reportedly brought back by the soldier serving in North Africa during WW2. I have spent some time identifying those I could easily, so here are the ones I am less sure about - anyone want to shout out if there is anything unusual in this lot? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]240459.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]240458.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I am particularly interested in the one top row second from left, which has Greek writing, and the one bottom right corner, which is almost a caricature portrait and a V on the reverse - may be Byzantine?</p><p><br /></p><p>For interest, the others that I have Id&#039;ed include:</p><p>a Volusian Ant, S9759</p><p>Claudius Gothicus, </p><p>Quintillus, S11436</p><p>2x Constantine the Great (one with twin figures on reverse, the other with the under Licinius obverse),</p><p>Delmatius,</p><p>Constans (with very long neck)</p><p>Magnentius</p><p>2x Constantius II with the text reverse</p><p>Julian II</p><p>Gratian</p><p>and Flacilla!</p><p><br /></p><p>So a good spread! I have not the energy to scan them all, but if anyone wants to see any specifically, please ask and I will do my best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
