<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1984419, member: 42773&quot;]Tobias, I checked Varbanov and the only coin of this type he lists for Elagabalus of Markianopolis is 1658, which has the E in the left field. Still, I wouldn&#039;t worry about a fake - the coin looks original. You just have a possibly unlisted variant (I say &quot;possibly&quot; because don&#039;t have all the Provincial sources.)</p><p><br /></p><p>This is neither a denarius nor an antoninianus. We don&#039;t know the names of the provincial bronzes. Sometimes they get called dupondii or sestertii because they are similar in size and weight to the imperial issues of the same name, but that isn&#039;t accurate. The most accurate description of your coin would be simply AE, followed by the diameter - probably around 27mm for that coin, right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
