<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 2688178, member: 82549&quot;]You will probably get the most help if you post each coin in a separate thread. </p><p><br /></p><p>Until then, you now know which rulers to be on the lookout for. Their names are contained in the obverse inscription around the bust. Each inscription is most likely to begin on the left with DN and end on the right with PFAVG. The letters in between will contain the emperor&#039;s name. Even if all the letters in the inscription aren&#039;t on the flan, you can often find certain combinations of letters that will nail down the ID for you. For example, if you see a DO on the left side, you know the emperor is either Theodosius I or II; the reverse type will distinguish which. Or if the inscription on the right side is the rather unflattering ANVSPFAVG without any other letters, the coin is of Valentinian I.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
