<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 3493315, member: 81887&quot;]If you look closely at the reverse, Victory is inscribing a shield &quot;VIC PAR&quot; in honor of Roman victory over Parthia.&nbsp; This type was used by Aurelius in the second half of AD 166.&nbsp; RIC lists several varieties of this type, numbers 928-930 depending on the exact bronze denomination (can&#039;t tell from the picture alone) and variation in the obverse legend (which is mostly missing on your coin).&nbsp; There is also the similar 931-936, but those all are listed as having a pile of weapons at the base of the palm-tree, which doesn&#039;t seem to be present on your coin.&nbsp; RIC lists these as Common or Scarce, depending on exact variety.&nbsp; Your coin probably can&#039;t be attributed to exact RIC number due to the poor condition/missing inscription, but it is still a cool bit of history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
