Roman coin, and I have no clue where I could find what this is

9 сообщений




Anyone that can help me with this one?

It's about the size of a Canadian two dollars piece but thicker.

The reverse shows a cauldron with flames coming out of it.

Thanks in advance
No one? :-(
Please don't take the fact that you got no answers that nobody is willing to help. I think it is more a case of nobody knows. There is very little to go by on this coin.

Try these following sites:

http://www.dirtyoldcoins.com/roman/
http://www.romancoin.info/
http://macrocoin.net/page/ancient-coins
http://www.acsearch.info/
http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/

Hope this helps
Oh no I sure did not take as such, I was just hoping someone could help.
I bought a roman silver coin in zürich for 70chf two years ago and it took me almost a year to find out what the coin was so I think you should do like I did just keep searching because all roman coins can't be found on numista I think that the best way to identify a roman coin is to just simply write things like
"Roman coin with bearded man" or "roman coin with flames" on google search
thats how I identified my coin and that coin is my profile picture and I still haven't found it on numista catalog even if I know that it's a silver denarius 108 ad and it's made by emperor trajan
I still haven't been able to find this one :-(
I am fairly confident that it is a provincial coin of Marcus Aurelius, not sure about the reverse though.
The best I can come up with is Mount Argaeus , nothing else matches so I think that's probably your best starting point.
I deny nothing but doubt everything, opinions are made to be changed, how else is the truth to be gotten at.
The reverse shows something like a burning cauldron of some sort.
Looks like fairly confident wasn't good enough, it is actually Commodus.
The reverse shows mount Argaeus on an altar, it is a stylised depiction and what you are seeing as flames are probably trees.
There are 3 emperors of the mid to late 2nd century that all look alike on some coins, Marcus Aurelius, Lucius Verus and Commodus which is why I made my identification error.
Just go to www.wildwinds.com search for Commodus then scroll down until you get to coins from Caesarea, Cappadocia.
There are several examples of your coin for you to see.
From what I can find this type was not issued under M.Aurelius or L.Verus so has to be Commodus.
Also take 5 minutes to check the other two I mentioned just so you have an idea of what they look like in relation to Commodus.
