<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roerbakmix, post: 7415282, member: 100731&quot;]Despite tuning down on the Roman coins, I couldn&#039;t resist this hefty bronze piece of Faustina. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1288565[/ATTACH]</p><p>DIVA AVGVSTA FAVSTINA // PIETAS AVG, SC in field. </p><p>16.85g; 31.2 mm</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not quite sure what to make of it though. RIC 1192, so a dupondius? Or 1194; an as? The weight seems to be the closest to the dupondius. Would appreciate if someone could provide me with the correct ID. </p><p><br /></p><p>From the same haul:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1288568[/ATTACH]</p><p>Syria, Commagene. Zeugma. Philip I. A.D. 244-249. Æ 29 (28.8 mm, 18.62 g, 12 h). AYTO K K M IOYΛI ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟC CЄB, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right; uncertain countermark / ZЄΓMA-TЄΩN, tetrastyle temple with peribolos containing grove of trees; capricorn right below. </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is somewhat difficult to photograph due to its glossy brown patina. This is how it looks &#039;in hand&#039;:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1288570[/ATTACH] </p><p>It probably deserves a thread on its own, however, I lack time to properly write it down. </p><p><br /></p><p>Post any coins you deem relevant![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
