[QUOTE="Chris B, post: 4505083, member: 87179"]While I am active on the world coin side I am more of a lurker on the ancient threads. I only have a handful of ancients and most of the ones I have were purchased already having been attributed. The below coin was a gift given to me long enough ago that I'm embarrassed that this is the first shot at my own attribution. It just came in an unmarked flip. I knew enough that it was Roman but beyond that I was clueless. So here is my photo and attribution. The text that I can make out is: Obverse: NER TRAIANO OPTIM Reverse: PARTHICO PM TRP PRO VID Weight: 2.92g Diameter: 18.86mm Can someone confirm this or steer me in the right direction. [ATTACH=full]1116933[/ATTACH] I believe it is a: Sear 3154 Trajan Denarius. IMP CAES NER TRAIAN OPTIM AVG GERM DAC, laureate draped bust right / PARTHICO P M TR P COS VI P P S P Q R, PRO-VID across fields, Providentia standing left, holding sceptre, resting left arm on column, pointing with a baton at a globe at feet.. RSC 313.[/QUOTE]
