<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 2883011, member: 85693&quot;]I recently picked up this bargain Valerian Antoninianus with the emperor seated with globe reverse.&nbsp; Roman Collector posted a similar (and much nicer) example back in July <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/valerian-i-antoninianus-bargain.299483/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/valerian-i-antoninianus-bargain.299483/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/valerian-i-antoninianus-bargain.299483/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The problem I am having with mine is the reverse titles and my confusion over the two examples, with different reverse legends: </p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>PM TR P V COS III P P</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>PM TR P V COS IIII PP </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Here is mine.&nbsp; On the reverse, it is clearly <b>COS IIII</b>.&nbsp; But is that a <b>TRP</b> <b>&quot;III&quot;</b> or <b>&quot;VI&quot;</b>?&nbsp; Did Valerian even get to a TRP VI?&nbsp; Maybe they voted it to him <i>in absentia</i> while Shapur was using him as a footstool?</p><p><br /></p><p>This type seems to be a bit scarce, or at least there isn&#039;t much online that I can find.&nbsp;&nbsp; Any help would be much appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]691364[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]691365[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
