[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 5130681, member: 80952"]Hello ladies and gentlemen, I have this provincial, Severus Alexander with Apollo on reverse, the condition is good enough to be narrowed down to RPC number but I have some difficulties. [ATTACH=full]1203662[/ATTACH] Obverse inscription is M AV S AL EXANDRV Reverse [...]OL AVG TROA so most likely COL AVG TROA but not sure if it was something before COL. Fair enough but on RPC I can't find a match with the correct obverse/reverse inscriptions. [URL]https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/6/3985[/URL] close enough but with obverse IM S ALEXANDER AVG [URL]https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/6/3976[/URL] obverse and reverse inscriptions different. [URL]https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/6/4031[/URL] This one seems closer, especially the first specimen, Bellinger A334.3 . Could it be an error in RPC and the reverse inscription has the extra "ALEX" listed here?[/QUOTE]
