<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Justin Lee, post: 3527118, member: 87404&quot;]One area that might be helpful is to determine the legend just visible to the top right of the bust.&nbsp; Do the first 3 letters look like OVH (continuing to make ΟVΗΡΟС as on Verus&#039; coins) or ΩΝΙ (assuming the legend break ΑΝΤ-ΩΝΙΝΟС as often in Aurelius&#039; coins). To me it looks more like an O not Ω leading me to believe Verus, but Aurelius&#039; Ω can sometimes be connected as on the upper-right MA example by iamtiberius.</p><p><br /></p><p>And checking out example of both Verus and MA from Antioch in RPC Online can be invaluable.</p><p><a href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk" rel="nofollow">https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/collagemaker_20190326_221946763.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><b>Lucius Verus, Ruled 161-169</b></p><p><b>AE23, Syria, Antioch Mint</b></p><p>Obverse: ΑVΤ Κ Λ ΑVΡΗΛ ΟVΗΡΟС СƐΒ, radiate head right.</p><p>Reverse: Large SC within laurel wreath of eight leaves, IB below.</p><p>References: RPC IV 7076, McAlee (Lucius Verus) 2</p><p>Size: 23mm, 8.8g[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
