<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2355483, member: 57495&quot;]Doug was having some difficulty getting a hit for your Antoninus Pius because the &quot;I&quot; in &quot;XI&quot; at the end of the obverse legend was close to the tip of the bust and easy to miss.&nbsp; A search for &quot;antoninus pius xi denarius annona&quot; in acsearch turns up some other examples of your coin (RIC 162) :</p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=antoninus+pius+xi+denarius+annona&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;company=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=antoninus+pius+xi+denarius+annona&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;company=" rel="nofollow">http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=antoninus pius xi denarius annona&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;company=</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As a side note, I&#039;ve never seen a TRP X coin of Pius.&nbsp; I did a quick check in RIC (<i>Roman Imperial Coinage, </i>the standard general reference for these coins), and regarding his coins with tribunician dates, it has this to say :</p><p>&quot;TR.P.X (AD 146-7). Dated coins of this year <b>probably</b> [emphasis added] occur, but are very rare. The only known type is that of the Emperor sacrificing, a type of the &#039;vota decennalia&#039;.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Nifty info, huh?
