[QUOTE="shanxi, post: 3585551, member: 101607"]It's not so difficult. Above the horse you can read AMK. You know these letters already from your other coin fom Anazarbos. Anazarbos is not the only town with AMK on coins, but there is also ANA.... behind the horse. Then the obverse. It looks like a young Severan, and if you compare these (Carcalla, Elagabal, Severus Alexander) and their legends from Anazarbos the most likely is Severus Alexander with a possible obverse legend ..T K... CЄ AΛEΞA.... So it's Severus Alexander from Anazarbos. To find the exact type might take some time: This is an Severus Alexander with AMK in bad condition [URL]http://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/6/7413/[/URL] Is your coin also in this size range? That's another imoprtant thing to know if you search for an ancient coin, e.g. RPC online allows you to search by size.[/QUOTE]
