<p>[QUOTE="Gao, post: 1067408, member: 19409"]Judging by the color of the metal, it looks like an as, though a diameter and weight (preferably in millimeters and grams) would help us confirm this. My first thought with the portrait was that it looked like Nerva, though it's a bit hard to tell in that condition. The legend seems to be a bit botched, as it should be TRP rather than just TP, and I couldn't find a legend with just "TP" on the <a href="http://www.romancoin.info/#FORVMS%20Roman%20Coin%20Legend%20Search" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.romancoin.info/#FORVMS%20Roman%20Coin%20Legend%20Search" rel="nofollow">Roman Coin Legend Search</a>. Assuming that they were intending "TRP" there, it does seem that only Nerva fits the obverse legend. I think the reverseis either AEQVITAS AVGVST or FORTVNA AVGVST, though it's really hard to tell in that condition. If you can make out a scale in her right hand, it's the former, if you can see a rudder, the latter. It's really hard to tell in this condition from your picture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
