<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 8330525, member: 72790"]I like this coin. I think I have to get one. The SR could stand for some variation of your suggestion, Sestertius Romanus, or alternatively Senatus Romanus. HOLD THE PRESSES. I just found out that the SR stands for Symmachos Romaion or Socia Romanorum (Roman ally or allies). This according to an earlier post here on Coin Talk. Wayne Sayles has it as SR standing for Senatus Romanus in his Vol IV, p.51 of his Roman Provincial Coins. Take your pick but it began with Septimius and was used for several decades on coins of Pisidia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
