<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3222336, member: 56859"]In case you change your mind and want to learn more about the coin, take a look at the letters. They are in Greek. The style of the coin is Roman (emperor portrait on the obverse, something else on the reverse). This coin was struck by one of the Roman provinces of the time. Your images are blurry but you can still make out many of the letters-- enough to read the emperor's name and the city name. The emperor's name will be spelled out on the coin's obverse along with various other letters which abbreviate his titles. The reverse will have the city name.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here's a thread you may wish to read and bookmark.
