Roman Empire - Macrinus AD 217-218 - Rome - AR denarius [solved]

3 posts • viewed 82 times

Good day to you,

 

I bought this coin a few years ago from a (still active) web-coinhouse as a Macrinus SECURITAS TEMPORUM (RIC 91). Obviously this is an error as it is rather a PONTIFEX MAXIMUS. I am not an expert, so I am hesitating between the RIC 35/RSC 87 and the RIC 24/RSC 62. But both the portrait (obv) and the position of the body (rev) seem to show some differences. Is this coin a variant of one of these types, or is it another one I overlooked, please?

 

Thank you very much in  advance!

Ave, 

RIC IV 35 has the reverse legend “PONTIF MAX TR P II COS P P” so it cannot be that one.

To me the coin seems to be RIC IV 24b.

Leuk dat je latijns kan.
 

Ave,

 

Gratias tibi valde! 

 

I think you are quite right, thanks a lot!
