<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 4158045, member: 72790"]I recently picked up this little 18 mm Roman Provincial bronze and it was attributed to Augustus, RPC 1656. I have found out, however, that a very similar coin was issued by Tiberius with the same reverse, two priests or colonists plowing a furrow (pomeranium?) In one example it is labelled a "semis". The Tiberius coin is RPC 1657 and supposedly can be differentiated from the coin of Augustus by a small TI in front of the AUG at 9 o'clock. As I look at the coin I cannot determine if there are portions of a TI, partially off the flan, that indicate it is of Tiberius, not Augustus. I need someone with better eyes (or better glasses) than mine[ATTACH=full]1073045[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1073046[/ATTACH] to tell me what you might see. Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
