[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4723870, member: 85693"]I have sort of a Commodus problem - I chase 'em down no matter how ugly. This one is similar to (or same as?) the OP - I say this because of the curule chair, though there are probably others. [ATTACH=full]1157315[/ATTACH] [B]Commodus Æ Sestertius (190 A.D.) Rome Mint[/B] M COMMOD ANT P FELIX AVG BRIT PP, laureate head right / PM TR [P XV IMP] VIII COS VI, Commodus seated left on curule chair, holding branch and sceptre. S-C across fields. RIC 557; Cohen 556; Sear 5786. (23.20 grams / 28 mm) Here's my latest one. It also came in an eBay lot and didn't cost very much. I had some trouble attributing it, but came as close as I could: [ATTACH=full]1157316[/ATTACH] [B]Commodus Æ Sestertius (189 A.D.) Rome Mint [/B] [M] COM[MOD ANT P FELIX AVG BRIT P P], laureate head r. / IO[VI IVV]ENI P M TR P XII[II IMP VIII COS V DES VI] S C: Jupiter standing left, holding thunderbolt & sceptre, eagle left. RIC III 542. (15.07 grams / 26 x 24 mm) [B]Attribution Note:[/B] There are several IOVI IVVENI types from this era: RIC 499: TR P XII RIC 525: TR P XIIII COS VI RIC 542: TR P XIIII COS VI DES Based on other examples, layout of visible reverse legend seems to best match RIC III 542.
