<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 3546544, member: 72790"]I picked up six more coins from the same person as before at my local flea market. It's mostly low grade stuff but pretty good when the price is only $5 a coin and unlikely to be fakes. Two of the coins are smaller and later folles of Constantine (ae 3), common reverse and I think one mint is Lugdunum but not sure about the other. The small Byzantine follis (Ae 2-3) I am not sure of. Because of its smaller size and image I am guessing maybe Justinian II. The small 10 numia I think is Maurice Tiberius. But now for the unknow. The small bronze, lower left, looks like a coin of the early Third Century, perhaps Septimius Severus, and the inscription seems to be in Greek so I think some Roman provincial but it is very small and a mystery to me. The last coin, lower right, is another mystery. The image may be that of Antoninus Pius and seems not to have any inscription. The reverse seems to be in Latin and the deity looks like Serapis. Near the back of his head I can make out what seems to be , COL PRIL (?). I am not aware of any Latin Colonies founded at that time, so I may be far off on this one. Any help on any of the coins appreciated. Thanks[ATTACH=full]942583[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]942584[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
