Hi

I've this silver denarius of Mark Anthony (6th Legion I think), it's very worn, but appears to have a different legend from that listed on all versions in the catalogue.

Does anyone know what it's meant to read, please?



Thanks
Not sure if it's due to the photos or not but judging from these photos alone I'd say it's a reproduction.
I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.

​what makes you say that? It's from a reputable seller, though I suppose they could have made a mistake.


The coin looked grainy in the photos and had an unnatural color, the new photos are better and I no longer have any doubt in the coin's authenticity.

After a quick search I found that this is a restitution issue of Marc Anthony legionary denarii under Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, here are two examples of the VI legion:
