Hey Guys, Worked the Baystate show today with my boss. Picked up a handfull of new coins. none of them are beauty queens but they cross off another 6 rulers I didn't have. None of them are fully attributed yet. I have some homework ahead of me... Plautilla Drusus Carinus Germanicus 2 Numerian (oops) Salonina And 2 that I knew this afternoon and am having a hard time with now... I also picked up a couple more ptolemy coins but I will post them in another thread. Richard
Clues: The next to last is M followed by the name he is best known by. Rome would have been a better place had he not died prematurely. The last has the most important part of the name off flan at the right following CAESAR IMP. It was struck while he was junior Caesar under his father.
I went yesterday!! Lots of slabbed ancients, only a few dealers that I saw had any raw. It was the biggest show I've ever been to. Great coins!! Cool that you found a few to cross off the list!
His brother was emperor before he was. Enough of the first three letters of his name show that you can get it but the second is more clear than the other two.
Hey Zig, maybe next year we could meet up at the show. I've yet to meet any of the CoinTalkers I've gotten to know through this forum over the last couple years.
