[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 2858891, member: 44316"]I agree with [USER=76086]@Ken Dorney[/USER] . The obverse is a copy of the common VRBS ROMA legend and type, except with bust right instead of the usual bust left. The reverse has some similarities with those of Theodora [ATTACH=full]680259[/ATTACH] which have legend PIETAS ROMANA [the OP coin has PIETAS REIP] and a standing female with a child [the OP coin has a similar pose] The Theodora is attributed to 337-340 (according to RIC, or 335 according to Callu), about the same time as the VRBS ROMA type. I see [USER=21445]@Mat[/USER] made this suggestion since I started typing this post. As you can see from my pages on imitations: [url]http://augustuscoins.com/ed/imit/[/url] and especially the Constantinian imitations there, imitations may vary widely from originals. [USER=82549]@gsimonel[/USER] , you have a particularly nice one.[/QUOTE]
