[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 7773781, member: 75937"]The one with the most legible inscriptions is the middle one, which I reproduce here: [ATTACH=full]1333347[/ATTACH] Note the obverse reads: ΑΝΤΩΝЄΙΝΟϹ ΑVΓVϹΤΟϹ. This is transliterated "Antoninus Augustus" (hint: it's not Antoninus Pius or anyone actually related to him). The reverse reads ΝΙΚΟΜΗΔЄΩΝ ΔΙϹ ΝЄΩΚΟΡΩΝ. This is translated as "of the Nicomedians, who have two Neocorates." The reverse features a goddess depicted with her usual attributes -- a helmet and her sacred animal, the owl.
