[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3185302, member: 56859"]The legend is different from these examples. SvenE's coin's obverse reads IMP CAES M AVR ANTON AVG. The reverse reads IVLIA AVGVSTA. Or do I have the sides reversed?? I haven't often looked through any of the RIC volumes, but looking through Volume IV I don't see this coin listed. It is entirely possible that I just missed it and don't know how to properly use RIC. I also looked under Julia Domna in case I am mistaken about which side is the obverse, but it's not listed there either. So, one of these statements is probably correct: 1. I don't know how to use RIC and the coin is in there, or 2. It isn't in RIC, or 3. It isn't in RIC because it is a mule or a fake or a fantasy. To summarize, I don't know and am not sure why I even wrote this :D. Welcome to CoinTalk, Sven :) [Edited to note that while I was spending a ridiculous amount of time searching for an answer, someone with more knowledge clarified the issue :D.][/QUOTE]
