    Hey All,

    I am trying to figure out who the figure on the rear of my Antonius Pius Silver Denarius is. Here is a link to a listing i found of a matching coin that is of better quality than mine and has a clearer view (also included a pic of mine).

    Also if anyone know a good resource for identifying things like this let me know. I am currently waiting for my copy of Imperial Roman Coins by Klawans to be delivered which will hopefully help me in the future.

    Looks like i may have figured it out. I found the gallery of roman coins linked below and after a lot of scrolling think i found my match.

    My mystery figure is Fortuna, i will have to thank her for my good fortune in figuring this out.

    You can usually tell Fortuna by the rudder she holds.
