<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2447200, member: 56859&quot;]On the reverse I can see the beginning of the legend, &quot;ΦΙΛΟΜ...&quot;, so the city is Philomelium (also spelled Philomelion) in Phrygia.&nbsp; As for the emperor, I can&#039;t make out enough of the letters to tell.&nbsp; Trajan Decius issued the type (River-god Gallos reclining left, holding cornucopia and reed) but that&#039;s not his obverse legend.&nbsp; You might want to check other emperors around that time.&nbsp; You may have to dig through public domain references if you don&#039;t see a likely match in Wildwinds, CNG&#039;s archives, etc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A good way to do that is to find a similar coin in CNG&#039;s archives, note the cited reference, and then Google to see if you can view a copy of that book online.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
