Some Interesting Small LRBs

I've had these awhile after trading some POGs with @Jwt708 back when I was deployed. I am not 100% sure who they are though I am guessing Arcadius/Honorius/Theodosius II/ or Valentinian III. Somewhere along there. They are all around 1g or less. Shame that most of the images are gone. They are still pretty cool and I figured I'd share. If anyone has any small LRBs they'd like to share, please feel free to post them up!

@furryfrog02 I think it is official now, you've become an ancient coins addict. May the Goddess Juno Moneta have mercy on your soul.

 

Oh, it definitely has taken hold hard haha.
Don't get me wrong, I still love searching rolls...but I think my heart is with ancients. You guys turned me to the dark side. Thanks

 

True owh so true they look like Byzantine coins

 

No, no, no, no, no...no mercy!

 

The curse of the misattributed 1982-D small date copper cent is going to follow you over here. Do you really want to do that to the nice people of the ancient forum?

 

I am sure I am that guy over here...misattributing coins left and right.
Luckily, they are nice over here and don’t give me too hard a time

 

We all make mistakes. Just two nights ago I posted a Postumus ant with an Asclepius reverse and accidentally said it was Serapis on the reverse. To anyone who knows their deities, Asclepius and Serapis look nothing like each other. But hey, someone pointed out my mistake, I corrected myself, and we all moved on. To err is human.

Asclepius on the reverse of my Postumus:



Serapis on the reverse of a former denarius I used to own:

 

That is a pretty nice looking Postumus!

Here is my rather poor Postumus (I believe). I'm not sure if it is a fourree or not, with the copper showing on some of the high points on the obverse:

Postumus
Antoninianus
Obverse: IMP C POSTVMVS PF AVG, radiate, draped bust right
Reverse: PROVIDETIA AVG, Providentia standing left, holding globe and transverse sceptre

 

hey @furryfrog02 , those are some neat little AE4s. Looks like on the second one you have some legend to work with.

Here is a little 13 mm AE 4 of Valentinian II from Antioch.

 

@chrsmat71 I think the 2nd one "may" be Theodosius II. The legend I can make out looks to be "SIVS PF AVG". Beyond that, I'm pretty much at a loss.
