Help with a Marcus Aurelius Dupondius plz

This is probably the last coin I can get for a long tie since my cars dead. so I made it a good one:high5: kinda.

I'm tryen to get a better pic right now but, couldnt find this one anywhere. One thing that made me want to get it is the globe, Ardatirion had posted one with a globe with the land on it.


obv inscr. M AVREL ANTONINUS AVG ARMENIACVS

rev inscr. TR POT XX IMP III COS III
Providence Standing left.

thanks wish I could take better pics of it :/

 

whats the size/weight?


stainless

 

dont have the weight but its the size of and as about 27/28 mm but thicker (about 4 mm) and heavier

 

The card it has says the closest he could find was a one with a cornicupia instead of the staff.

 

I found a sestertius like it

Marcus Aurelius. Sestertius 165-166 A.D. Rv. Providentia standing 1. holding wand and scepter; globe at feet RIC 923

 

got the RIC from forum, and the atrbution for the the sestertius looks right, so heres what i peiced together


Marcus Aurelius 161-180 A.D.

Dupondius 165-166 A.D.

obv. Marcus Aurelius, Crowned faces right, M AVREL ANTONINUS AVG ARMENIACVS PM
rev. Providentia standing l. holding wand and scepter; globe at feet, TR POT XX IMP III COS III

RIC III 924 Cohen 806

 

Randy, get a weight on your coin if you can. From the pics, it looks very thick... like a sestertius. Are you sure it's not a small sestertius? I can't get Wildwinds to come up for me at the moment to do some looking.

 

Same hither one wildwinds

Yes, Randy, it could be either a Sestertius or an As. Details are important.



stainless

 

It is not a sestersius or an as, the emperor is wearing a radiate crown. On an As the ruler is bare headed and on a Sestersius a wreath.

They had a Radiate Crown on a Double Sestersius but that came about under Trajan Decius.

 

Lol.....another wrong answer given by stainless..I think I need to halt my ancient coin buying for a while and spend time to learn more about them.:whistle:


stainless

 

yeah wildwinds got hacked :/

"A malicious attack was made on the wildwinds website database yesterday (Friday) evening (US time) during which hundreds of lines of html coding were deleted and the altered files re-uploaded. The server technicians blocked the access at 9 pm California time."


theres a few things you can do for now to still access the pages that are gone.


change the i.html to t.html to veiw the thumbnail, this doesnt work on all though

also archive.org has it archived and you can use googles cached feature

 

heh no worries

I need to buy a scale lol

 

I never new that thanks for posting it

 

This attribution is correct. The PM is there on your coin, just worn out; in case you were wondering. Struck December 165 to mid-Summer 166 AD.

Stainless - you should've busted out your RIC and gone to the year that M. Aurelius had TR POT XX and IMP III, 165-166 AD.

 

Thanks

I had just forgten the PM and added it in read , just wanted point out what changes in red
