[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4549834, member: 85693"]Nice acquisition, ominus1! I have two of these, and yours is better than both. This is one of those instances when keeping a duplicate seems to make sense since they are so radically different in fabric - one appears to be silver, the other base metal.

Antioch or Samosata mint [/B] IMP C P LIC VALERIANVS PF AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust rt. / RESTITVT ORIENTIS, Orient, turreted, right presenting wreath to Valerian, in military attire, left. RIC 287c; RSC 189; Sear 9967 (3.77 grams / 20 mm) - the AE one (4.12 grams / 23 x 20 mm) - the silver one[/QUOTE]
