    I bought these nothing special but I just like the look of the coins. I don't really have an area of collecting but if it strikes me right I will pick it up. 5.png 6.png Maximianus antoninianus.jpg Philip silver antoninianus.jpg

    I think they are all very nice. The Romulus and Remus reverse is excellent.

    It's K B
    K for Κύζικος = Cyzicus, an ancient city on the southern shore of the Sea of Marmara.
    B is the Greek numeral for 2
    It means that this coin was minted in the Officina 2 of the Cyzicus mint.
