<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aaron Apfel, post: 1910140, member: 67415&quot;]Hi guys,</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently bought a load of uncleaned ancients and there are a few that have come out of soaking looking in pretty bad shape and I just cant ID them. I hate putting away a coin not being able to put some sort of ID on it (unless its really blank). I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if no one can make them out but here they are:</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m pretty sure this coin is of 3 emperors, possibly Arcadius. But the thing that has me puzzled is that I&#039;m sure the man on the left is holding a bow? And under the middle man there seems to be a very faint worn star shape. I just can&#039;t seem to ID this, maybe i&#039;m completely off and it isn&#039;t 3 emperor&#039;s or that isn&#039;t a bow he&#039;s holding.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i61.tinypic.com/oqhwmd.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i62.tinypic.com/2myyjps.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Next is a god knows what. There is some legend left of the obverse but it&#039;s warped and I cant make it out. On the reverse I can&#039;t make out whatever it is so I don&#039;t even know if the picture is the right way round. I was thinking it could be a man/hunter holding up an animal by it&#039;s legs?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i59.tinypic.com/2wf39f5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i57.tinypic.com/f4fb5c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And lastly I thought this was interesting due to it&#039;s square shape. Was this coin made to be square or is it just in reallllly bad shape? There is most of someone&#039;s head on the obverse (sorry that picture is a bit dark, he&#039;s wearing some sort of spiked helmet/diadem) and not much on the reverse. I&#039;ll give a cookie to anyone that can even make anything out with this. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i57.tinypic.com/5ckth2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i60.tinypic.com/140ivm9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i57.tinypic.com/15n13jm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t expect any miracles here but if anyone can give me even a bit of info on any of these that&#039;d be great!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
