[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3831690, member: 85693"]Nice coins and nice write-up. This isn't Marcus Aurelius, but I thought it might fit in with this thread - a Lucius Verus as with three trophies on the reverse. I think these might be Armenian. [ATTACH=full]1018477[/ATTACH] [B] Lucius Verus Æ As (167-168 A.D.) Rome Mint[/B] L VERVS AVG ARM PAR[TH MAX], laureate, draped bust right / [TR P VIII IMP IIII COS III S C], three trophies with a seated captive at base of each. RIC 1475? (10.60 grams / 26 mm) Attribution Note: RIC 1475 is the only 3-trophy As with a draped bust. This one also has a captive at base of each, which is hard to see on this example. I could find no examples online except OCRE, no illustrations. The other 3-trophy As for Verus is RIC 1464 with no captives, and a bare head (not draped).[/QUOTE]
