[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 7419473, member: 85693"]With our without dots that is a nice-looking Tetricus. These are so often so poorly struck. Here's a Hadrian sestertius with a dot in the obverse legend, not typical, but probably not rare in any significant way: [ATTACH=full]1288842[/ATTACH] [B]Hadrian Æ Sestertius (134-138 A.D.) Rome Mint[/B] [HA]DRIANVS • A[VG COS III P P], laureate bust right, slight drapery on far shoulder / FELI[CITAS AVG], SC, Felicitas standing facing holding branch and caduceus. RIC 750e (var.? • obv. legend) (25.50 grams / 30 mm) Close-up of the dot: [ATTACH=full]1288843[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
