<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2742887, member: 56859&quot;]It&#039;s easier to work on these puzzles when you show the full images in line rather than as thumbnails (also helps to join the two sides).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/a-jpg.626407/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/b-jpg.626408/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hmm.&nbsp; Provincial portraits often look nothing like the person (or at least nothing like the person as depicted on their Imperial coins).&nbsp; You&#039;ll probably need to rely more on the legends for this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first part of the legend is AYT K but that doesn&#039;t help much since it is just title abbreviations.&nbsp; The next letter (or is it two closely spaced letters?) aren&#039;t easily discerned, and then it looks like an O.&nbsp; The O might help narrow it down because that letter is probably part of the emperor&#039;s name, perhaps the second letter. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m getting a Volusian vibe (just a hunch-- I haven&#039;t really studied your coin or archives), although his name on provincials isn&#039;t going to be as simple as Greek letter substitution for &quot;Volusian&quot;, unfortunately.&nbsp; Many permutations exist across his range of provincials (same holds true for most provincials).</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse is Tyche, as you identified.&nbsp; When you start searching, use Tyche rather than Fortuna because it is a provincial.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
