    Hi, guys! I need help with attributing this provincial of Marcus Aurelius. The legends are pretty worn. It is similar to Sear Greek Imperial 1553 from Thessaly. The legends would match, but my coin is 7 mm smaller in diameter.

    I would appreciate any help you might be able to give. Thanks!

    And post anything relevant!

    Yes, I think it's BMC 79:

    What references do BCD and Rogers refer to?
