<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brian Bucklan, post: 2467076, member: 76544&quot;]I can only give my opinion on this coin, and it&#039;s just that .. an opinion. If you look at all examples and styles of Athalaric monograms there is an obvious letter &quot;R&quot; at the left, with the vertical line of the R forming a portion of the letter &quot;A&quot;. These two letters are missing on the monogram example you show. On all his monogram coins you can make out the letters, A-T-H-R-I-C-V and S with a clear L seen on three of the six published types.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the monogram shown the only letters I can make out are T-H-C-I-S. It just doesn&#039;t seem likely that Athalaric would strike a monogram with just these letters, particularly without the A and R. I am not going to make a guess as to what, or who, this coin represents but it just doesn&#039;t fit this particular Ostrogothic Emperor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
