On this coin the monogram is PE, with the P inverted. In exergue, under the wreath there is frequently another monogram or a letter, which represents the magistrate responsible for the minting of these coins. On some coins there is the magistrate name completely written out. Usually these monograms cannot be solved and it is not known who the magistrates were.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]915997[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]915998[/ATTACH]</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
