<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1644481, member: 42773&quot;]I need a bit of help reading the legends on this coin - they&#039;re more complicated than what I have on other pieces. Let me know if I&#039;ve got this right...</p><p><br /></p><p>ANTONINVS PIUS AUG - Caracalla&#039;s given first name, the dutiful, augustus</p><p><br /></p><p>GERM - ??</p><p><br /></p><p>P M - Pontifex Maximus</p><p><br /></p><p>TR P XVIII - The 18th issuance of Tribunicia Potestas?</p><p><br /></p><p>COS IIII - Consul, fourth issuance? Or is the IIII not a number? If it&#039;s 4, why not IV?</p><p><br /></p><p>P P - Pater Patriae</p><p><br /></p><p>Do the issuance numbers for TR and COS narrow the date of this coin at all?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
