[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 3357970, member: 82549"]Nice find. First I've seen. My guess is that AGA is a "inscripto" for AGG, since Concordia usually means the emperors aren't actively trying to kill each other. Here's one with a similar reverse but a different inscription: [IMG]http://feltemp.com/Images/Decline/Honorius.JPG[/IMG] Honorius (Bronze) AE II Antoich mint, A.D. 393-395 Obv: D N HONORIVS P F AVG Rev: GLORIA ROMANORVM - Emperor, standing, facing right, holding globe and standard ANTΓ in exergue RIC 68(f) 23mm, 5.6g Most of the Concordia coins from this time period that I've seen depict Concordia seated: [IMG]http://feltemp.com/Images/Decline/ValentinianII.JPG[/IMG] Valentinian II (Bronze) AE III Siscia mint, A.D. 378-383 Obv: D N VALENTINIANVS IVN P F AVG Rev: CONCO-R-DIA AVGGG - Roma seated, holding globe and reverse spear; left leg bare ASISC in exergue RIC 27(c) 18mm, 2.3g.[/QUOTE]
