[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 7918739, member: 75143"]I am having great difficulty attributing, or even identifying this one, I [I]assume[/I] its Marcus Aurelius. I searched RPC for any Marcus Aurelius with λH in the reverse legend, but couldn't quite get close. λH supports Lydia, but I can't read enough of the rest of the Greek on the reverse to tell. Reverse motif appears to be a half-nude god, seated left, holding *something* (lightning bolt?). Position of the hand and the object sort of something [I]other[/I] than a lightning bolt, as it doesn't make sense to balance the bolt on its end like that. The curious part is that he wears a solar crown, which should narrow things down somewhat. 19mm, 5.7g [ATTACH=full]1368193[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
