<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 2541934, member: 81887&quot;]The coin that is on the left in the first photo (has a man&#039;s head on one side and standing woman with two animals on the other) is a coin of the Roman emperor Philip I (244-249 AD) minted for local use at the city of Viminacium (located in what is now Serbia).&nbsp; The reverse has the inscription at the top &quot;P M S COL VIM&quot;, short for &quot;Provincia Moesia Superioris, Colonia Viminacium&quot; (Province of Upper Moesia, Colony-City of Viminacium).&nbsp; At the bottom (exergue) of the reverse it is either &quot;AN VI&quot; or &quot;AN VII&quot; indicating Year 6 or 7 from the official foundation of the city, which would be either 245 or 246 AD.&nbsp; The reverse is a female allegorical figure of the province standing between a bull and a lion, emblems of Legions VII and IV which were stationed in the area.&nbsp; This is a fairly common coin, and not worth very much in this condition, but still very cool historically.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
