    What's the weight and diameter of that? It's either a sestertius or as of Trajan Decius with the Pannonia reverse type. I have one that isn't exactly FDC:

    [​IMG]
    Trajan Decius AD 249-251.
    Roman Æ sestertius, 15.11 g, 29.4 mm, 1 h.
    Rome, AD 250-251.
    Obv: IMP CMQ TRAIANVS DECIVS AVG, laureate and cuirassed bust right.
    Rev: PANNONIAE S C, the two Pannoniae standing side by side, holding standards.
    Refs: RIC 124a; Cohen 87; Sear 9407; Hunter 54.

    Sestertius like mine. Sestertii in the mid-third century weighed about half of what they did 200 years earlier.
