<p>[QUOTE="Gao, post: 829299, member: 19409"]You are correct about this being Gallienus. He's easy to spot, since he has a very distinctive bust. The denomination is the antoninianus, which is marked by a radiate crown on male buts and a crescent moon shape under female busts. This denomination was once mostly silver, but by this point really only had trace amounts. For identification help, I find that <a href="http://wildwinds.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://wildwinds.com/" rel="nofollow">this site</a> is great most Roman coins as long as you can tell the emperor and a bit of the legend. Looking on that site, it appears that you have <a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear/s2953.html#RIC_0181-RSC165" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear/s2953.html#RIC_0181-RSC165" rel="nofollow">RIC 181</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
