[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 3573134, member: 75937"]Much better pictures and it tells me two things: It's probably a dupondius/as and not a sestertius; I'm guessing it's about 26 mm in diameter and about 11 or 12 g in weight. I'm convinced the obverse inscription is either FAVSTINAE AVG ANTONINI AVG FIL or LVCILLAE AVG ANTONINI AVG F. If Faustina II, the only thing it could be is RIC 1410c, and that's NOT IT. The hairstyle is wrong. Here's the [URL='https://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=1198137&partId=1&searchText=Faustina+1410c&page=1']British Museum[/URL] specimen: [ATTACH=full]952228[/ATTACH] It MUST be Lucilla, RIC 1170, BMCRE 1187-88!!!! I have one in my collection, too!! [ATTACH=full]952229[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
