Help ID an AE18 from Carthago Nova (?) [solved]

6 posts • viewed 43 times

Thanks for any help ID’ing this 18mm 4.0g. bronze coin. From the extensive reverse legend, I think it’s an issue of Carthago Nova, Spain, but I can’t find a match in Numista’s impressive list. Seems like the name L. TITV(S)? CIVI II VIR QVIN(T)? might also be included, but I can’t make sense of the top line of reverse legend.

 That link I found had the obverse lettering incorrectly - 

it is NERON below the horseman, and unknown [AW or MV] on top right. 

‘The obverse legend … NERON[ ], a reference to Nero Claudius Drusus, son of Tiberius’.
