Message:: [QUOTE="Plumbata, post: 3219443, member: 96864"]I bought this as a random unidentified coin last year along with several bronzes of the Macedonian Koinon, and have been having some difficulty finding an exact match: Vespasian bronze (as?) of Stobi, Macedonia. 26mm, 9.79g The legend reads: "T IMP VESPASIANVS AVG I COS VI" and "MUNICIPIVM STOBENSIVM" on the reverse. I searched around but couldn't find a match for the obverse legend, and was hoping some of you may have some insights? The "COS VI" suggests the coin was minted during Vespasian's 6th consulship in A.D. 75 or so, but I only recall seeing later consulships on his coins from Stobi? And what does the "T" in "T IMP" mean or refer to? (please pardon the junky pics coin is much better in hand, my good camera broke recently)[ATTACH=full]837805[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]837806[/ATTACH]  These 3 silvers came in the past couple days, a worn Cistophorus of Augustus minted in Ephesus c. 25-20 BC, 10.92g 24mm, an Akragas didrachm 8.36g 18mm, and an Akragas Litra 0.55g 10mm, which reads "ΛΙ" in retrograde under the crab, denoting the denomination which I think is rather interesting. Got all 3 for less than 300 shipped.[ATTACH=full]837816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]837817[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
