[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 3001730, member: 87404"]I've been searching and searching and can't seem to definitively nail down who is on the AE As reverse and what the early part of the text is supposed to say. Based on the look of the portrait (younger looking and [I]nearly no/short[/I] beard) and the IMP (IIII) and COS (III) and what I think the TR P is (VI or maybe VII), the coin is from around the 181 AD time. It appears she is holding a cornucopiae in her left hand and her right arm is bent upwards maybe holding something? i've been digging through Wildwinds listing of Asses and none really seem to match: Salvs, Minerva, Annona. The listing when I bought it said Felicitas, but I can't seem to find an As with Felicitas on the reverse on Wildwinds. I've also done general Google searches for a variety of things for the text on the coin resulting in lists from coinproject, vcoins, etc. Obv: (M) COMMODVS ANTONINVS (AVG) Rev: (something) (TR) P VI (IMP) IIII COS III P P, S-C in field 26mm, 10.06g Any thoughts?
