<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4584008, member: 19463&quot;]For those who do not know this type:&nbsp; There are a couple things that I find interesting.&nbsp; The original coin was inscribed ANT AVG with ANT abbreviating Antonius and AVG being Augur.&nbsp; In the elapsed 200 years ANT would have been read as Antoninus by most people and AVG had become the standard for Augustus.&nbsp; This meant that the restoration coins had to spell out both words to avoid confusing the &#039;modern&#039; Roman on the street.&nbsp; Who knows why they selected LEG VI for the restitution?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1135248[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
