<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 7296100, member: 76440&quot;]The coin on left looks like TR POT XIX - COS IIII.&nbsp; Which translates: &quot;holder of Tribunician power for the 19th time, Consul for the 4th time.&nbsp; These are old Roman Republican magistrate powers granted to the emperor. They are useful for dating the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I highly&nbsp; recommend Klawans, <i>Reading and Dating Roman Imperial Coins. </i>A great book for beginners looking to understand and interpret these sorts of inscriptions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
