<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 4676339, member: 93702&quot;]I purchased this coin from Bargain Bin Ancients .. excellent price as usual and they give a 10% discount to CoinTalkers..which is very nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1151872[/ATTACH]</p><p><b><font size="3">Probus (193-217 AD) Ae silvered Antoninianus : Rome mint</font></b></p><p><b><font size="3">Obv: IMP PROBVS P F AVG; Radiate bust left wearing imperial mantle and holding eagle-tipped scepter</font></b></p><p><b><font size="3">Rev: ROMAE AETER; Roma seated left within hexastyle temple; R-thunderbolt-Delta in exergue. 20mm, 3.8gms, Ref: RIC V - 183</font></b></p><p><br /></p><p>Researching the coin has brought up a couple of questions that I am sure someone can help me with here:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>~</b>The reverse legend &quot;ROMAE AETER&quot; differs from the more popular legend &quot;ROMAE AETERNAE&quot; (Rome Eternal).. is it a short form? &quot;AETER&quot; does not seem to translate well. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>~</b>I have read that this coin was minted mid 281 to January 282 AD. Probus was in Rome during this time and I am wondering if this coin was struck to celebrate his Triumph of 281AD?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any clarification is appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Please post your coins of Probus!<font size="5"> </font></b></p><p><b><font size="5"></font></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
