Description: | A slightly worn and corroded 2nd century Roman copper-alloy As or Dupondius of uncertain Antonine emperor (c. 138-180 AD, Reece period 7-8). Mint is Rome. Both legends are missing. It is unclear if the obverse depicts a bare or laureate head; the reverse probably depicts Mars, standing front facing left with cloak over left shoulder, holding spear left and possibly another attribute right. However, due to severe surface wear on the coin, it is possible that this is actually a depiction of Mercury standing front, head left, holding patera and caduceus (Cf. RIC III, p237, No. 309). Because the legends are missing, it is impossible to identify this coin further.
