What language is the legend on this coin? It's not Latin? Maybe this
Ancient Arabian coin is an ancient Arabic or languages of the peoples of ancient Iraq? If this barbaric imitation of a Roman coin, it is not just a crude forgery in ancient times, and the ability of local intrpritatsiya Roman provincial coins in the local language.

 

i really have no idea what that is paschka.

 

If this coin early Arab tribes under Roman rule, it interestnaya and rare. But I have an analog her she found another.

 

The style of this coin is similar to Bactria, but there was a Roman province. The letters also similar to the ancient Indian language. Can someone is hypothesized that this is a coin?

 

i think you may be correct pascka, it kind of looks like kharoshthi script on the reverse...but i'm just not sure.

 

I would say this coin is clearly based on a Roman original with a standing deity with cornucopia and rudder on the reverse (usually this is Fortuna).
It is definitely not from Bactria !

 

THCoin, Yes, it is an imitation of a Roman coin, and on the manufacturing technique is very similar to the later podrazheie, perhaps even 4-5-6 century. My technique is similar to the later coins. Party with a portrait of Emperor explicit stylized.

 

it is certainly not the coin, though similar to the one side and on the font looks like

 

Dear colleagues! May you have any opinions about my coin? Thanks in advance for your hypothesis.

 

This is going to be an eastern Roman provincial issue. Perhaps somewhere in Mesopotamia, around the late Severans. I don't have the references to check this.

 

Yes, my opinion is that the second coin you posted doesn't even remotely resemble the first coin in any way, shape, or form .

Paschka, CoinTalk member Ardatirion is a professional numismatic cataloger. He works for CNG. I'd take his opinion and start searching Roman provincials from the late Severan era. The reverse is probably Tyche.

Hmmm? => hey Ardy, maybe your ol' nemesis, Mark Salzberg would know?

Sorry, it's Easter and I'm merely havin' some fun (I'll be good => I have Easter lasagna cooking)

 

Watch out. This is how celebrity feud articles in tabloids start.

 

I would agree very eastern Roman provincial. The language would be greek, and some letters are clearly greek on here. Maybe Singara or similar?

 

Ladies and gentlemen,

my friend the Greek scholar deciphered my letter on this coin:

AYITTOP (CL) Viti side of the letter "G" and the Greek figure "3"

is a meaningless set of letters or the name of the city of origin of the coins?
