Claudius II Gothicus ?

[Kim Stallings]

My second mystery coin for 2005 looks like it may be a Claudius II Gothicus and the closest near match I can come up with is Coins Catalog ID# 8005.

I think I am getting better at this...

Regards!

Happy New Year Kim!

Because of the strate "thing in the right hand of the figure I will say probably
CC# 8917
Claudius II AE Ant “Jupiter”
Claudius II "Gothicus" AD 268-270 AE Antoninianus "Jupiter, messenger of victory"
Obv: IMP C CLAVDIVS AVG - Radiate bust right, draped
Rev: IOVI STATORI – Jupiter standing left, holding thunderbolt and scepter.
Rome mint AD 268-270 = RIC Vi, p. 215, 52; Cohen 124



or CC# 8018
Claudius II AE Ant “Jupiter’s Victory”
Claudius II "Gothicus" AD 268-270 AE Antoninianus "Jupiter’s victory"
Obv: IMP C CLAVDIVS AVG - Radiate bust right, cuirassed
Rev: IOVI VICTORI – Jupiter standing left, holding thunderbolt and scepter.
Rome mint AD 268-270 = RIC Vi, p. 215, 54F; Cohen 129
Hope this will help :)

Vladimir -

Holy cow, I got two in a row right. :p

I have you guys to thank for my newly found knowledge of Roman coins. It's definitely not as hard as it seemed at first.

Regards!
