<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1878648, member: 15445&quot;]My Roman AE education began last May with these 54 coins and a Sear book.&nbsp; It seemed like a good way to begin learning about these little Roman bronze coins.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]318203[/ATTACH] </p><p>After a bit of work, I had the majority of them attributed with ruler, dates, and some details listed on the back of each coin label.</p><p><font size="3">[ATTACH=full]318204[/ATTACH]</font></p><p>[ATTACH=full]318205[/ATTACH]</p><p>I mentioned in recent thread that there were still a half dozen coins not attributed &amp; YOC asked that I post them.&nbsp; I guess it’s too late to post them one at a time. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Thanks for giving me the rulers for these six. Now I have a place to renew looking-up these last coins.&nbsp; It would be nice to know how you-all came up with [Gratian, Gratian, Constans, Constantius II, Constantius II, Constantius II]. All six were not obvious to me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So the first coin is Gratian..... Here is the label:</p><p><b>GRATIAN</b></p><p><b>A.D. 367-383</b></p><p><b>Obv:</b> diad., dr. and cuir bust r. DNGRATIAN VSAVGGAVG (Dominvs Noster Gratianus Augusti Gener Augustus)</p><p><b>Rev:</b> Victory advancing left holding wreath and palm branch SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE. OF/S to left, I/R to right (Lugdunum mint).</p><p><b>Other:</b> Similar to Sear 4143.&nbsp; Son of Valentinian I and Severa, Gratian was given the rank of Augustus in A.D. 367 at age seven.&nbsp; This coin was minted in Lugdunum (Lyons France) which coincidentally is also where Gratian was murdered at age 23.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]318206[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]318207[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Five more to go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
