<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Justin Lee, post: 3379756, member: 87404&quot;]Nice bust, nice researching, and nice post, RC... The trifecta! I&#039;ll bet that coin is a very welcome addition to your collection, congrats! </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have a curriassed Commodus, but this Titus (that I&#039;ve shown a number of times over this winter) was missattributed as his pops, Vespasian:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]897391[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Titus as Caesar, AE As</b></p><p><b>Struck by Vespasian in 77-78 AD, Lugdunum Mint</b></p><p><b>Obverse</b>: T CAES IMP AVG F TR P COS VI CENSOR, Head of Titus, laureate, right; globe at point of neck.</p><p><b>Reverse</b>: Spes standing, left holding flower in right and raising skirt with left (anepigraphic), S-C across field.</p><p><b>References</b>: RIC II (Vespasian) 1273</p><p><b>Size</b>: 28mm, 8.7g</p><p><br /></p><p>And this recent coin wasn&#039;t attributed at all, listed as an &quot;<i><b>unattributed Æ23 or Bronze 23-millimeter coin from Ancient Greece</b></i>&quot;... I had fun researching that one and actually found it pretty easily:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]897392[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Macedon, Thessalonica</b></p><p><b>Marc Antony and Octavian, Struck 37 BC</b></p><p><b>Obverse</b>: AΓΩNOΘEΣIA, head of Agonothesia right.</p><p><b>Reverse</b>: ANT KAI, legend in two lines within wreath.</p><p><b>References</b>: RPC 1552; SNG Copenhagen 375</p><p><b>Size</b>: 23mm, 9.9g</p><p><i><b>Notes</b>: Suffers from a weak strike on upper-left of obverse, lower-left of reverse.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
