<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 8179134, member: 85693&quot;]Interesting coin; although I am no authority, I recently got a similar one, and found that there are some really bizarre obverse legends from Pisidia during this era.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Below is mine, which I thought was for Volusian, but was issued for Valerian, apparently, with some notes quoting [USER=89514]@curtislclay[/USER] at beastcoins.com.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1429680[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Valerian I&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Æ 21</b></p><p><b>(c. 253-260 A.D.)</b></p><p><b>Pisidia, Antioch</b></p><p>IMP CAERAS LL OVNAHHIR, radiate, draped &amp; cuir. bust right / ANTIO-OCHIOC, vexillum surmounted by eagle between two standards, S R in exergue.</p><p>Krzyzanowska pl.

Krzyzanowska seems to be right that Valerian was meant.&quot;</p><p><a href="http://www.beastcoins.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.beastcoins.com" rel="nofollow">www.beastcoins.com</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
