Thanks !! I had the impression that they were greek letters and the reverse is not very common. If the last five letters on obverse are ...PF AVG, I'm trying to figure out what will be the two letters before, maybe ...VS PF AVG, there are so many emperors that ends like this .... At least I will try to find the reverse , two persons exchanging a globe or shaking hands , each is holding a spear.
I found it! (I think...) Could be Honorius or Theodosius II. Minted after the death of Arcadius. Information from: http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ricix/TheodosiusII.html Type 52: AE3. GLORIA ROMANORVM Two emperors standing, holding globe betwen them. Struck 408-423 [DO] Theodosius II GLORIA ROMANORVM, two emperors and globe AE4. 14 mm. 5:30. 1.98 grams. Hahn 74, plate 4. RIC X 418, page 272, plate 18 Alexandria. Also struck for Honorius. This type is after the death of Arcadius. This type was described as "emperor receiving globe from Jupiter" in LRBC. See Type 52 for additional commentary and images. More information here: http://augustuscoins.com/ed/ricix/type52.html
I think OJ is correct and I suspect it's Honorius based on where the legend break seems to be. Here's another good source for identifying LRBs: http://www.tesorillo.com/aes/home.htm The page for the OP's coin: http://www.tesorillo.com/aes/048/048i.htm
Good info TIF! I agree with it probably being Honorius. As much as I appreciate beautiful and EF coins... these are the ones that buzz in my brain after seeing a post. It’s a puzzle to solve and it’s fun to do. Next!
Thank you very much @Orange Julius ! , the coin will have finally a label @TIF the database is awesome , thanks for sharing ! , I was able to easily find another uncommon revers , and even the emperor. http://www.tesorillo.com/aes/121/121i.htm
