<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1211869, member: 5739&quot;]Okay so I won this Silver Antoninianus of Valerian II, it was being sold as of Valerian I, it is Valerian II right?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I hope someone can clear this up for me, I am pretty sure it is Valerian II due to the portrait and titles... but would like some confirmation, also I am wondering about what mint this is from, anyone know? Also notice between the &#039;P&#039; and &#039;F&#039; in the titles are dots, two of them. </p><p>So any info at all on this coin would be helpful, thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>-----</p><p>Roman Empire</p><p>Valerian II</p><p><br /></p><p>obv: VALERIANUVS P.

Also the reverse is very cool, sadly the front of the she-wolf is off the flan, let me know what ya&#039;ll think.</p><p><br /></p><p>----</p><p>Roman Republic</p><p>Anonymous Issue Silver Denarius of 115 - 114 BC.&nbsp; </p><p>Rome Mint. 20.59mm, 3.35g. </p><p>obv: Head of Roma right wearing Corinthian Helmet pushed up. </p><p>rev: Roma seated on a pile of shields holding spear, helmet below.
