[QUOTE="Roerbakmix, post: 4985904, member: 100731"]I stopped reading after the first few lines :dead: Anyway, I took the liberty to edit your pictures a bit [ATTACH=full]1197847[/ATTACH] A few notes: [LIST] [*]It's a bronze coin [*]It's a left-facing bust [*]On the reverse, there appears to be a temple or altar [*]there is a legend [I]above[/I] this temple/altar [*]there is a "SC" legend (S on the left; C on the right); usually with earlier roman imperial bronzes. [/LIST] Looking through OCRE, some come close: i.e. this one ([B][SIZE=3][URL='http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.1(2).ner.461']RIC I (second edition) Nero 461[/URL])[/SIZE][/B] , but then the reverse should be rotated 180 degrees [ATTACH=full]1197848[/ATTACH] or this one ([B][SIZE=3][URL='http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2_1(2).ves.316']RIC II, Part 1 (second edition) Vespasian 316[/URL])[/SIZE][/B] : [ATTACH=full]1197849[/ATTACH] or this one (but there is no legend around your reverse, it appears) [SIZE=3][B][URL='http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2_1(2).tit.451']RIC II, Part 1 (second edition) Titus 451[/URL][/B][/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]1197850[/ATTACH]" I stopped looking after Trajan. Here is the website to make IDïng a bit more easy: [URL]http://numismatics.org/ocre/identify[/URL] I checked "bronze", searched for *SC* (these * are wildcards), and added the keywords "altar", "left".[/QUOTE]
