Michael's Viminacium Legends   O.K. , maybe it is boasting, but the diversity of Viminacium's legends are bigger than thought. Maybe nice to see in a list .... for collectors !   NOTE: In legends the A is sometimes replaced by a Λ. The E sometimes (less) by a Є. Legend breaks on reverse may be between the PMS and COL, and as C-OL or CO-L. There is a coin known where Gordianus' face has a Philippus legend.   For a general legend list per Annum go here Obverse   Reverse Reverse Notes Annus Note       'Normal' is M. facing left & hands protecting animals     Gordianus         IMP CAES M ANT GOΔDIANVS AVG Laurate PMS CO-L VIM   AN~I~ 08 IMP CAES M ANT GORDANVS AVG Laurate PMS CO-L VIM   AN•I•I• 09 IMP CAES M ANT GORDIANVS AVG Radiate PMS CO-L VIM   ΛN•I•I• 11 IMP CAES M ANT GORDIANVS AVG Radiate PMS CO-L VIM M. facing us AN•II• 12 IMP CAES M ANT GORDIANVS AVG Laurate PMS CO-L VIM   AN III 21 IMP GORDIΛNVS PIVS FEL AVG Laurate PMS C-OL VIM   ΛN IIII 13 IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL A Radiate PMS C-OL VIM Hare & Vexillum AN IIII 01 IMP GORDIΛNVS PIVS FELIX AVG Laurate PMS C-OL VIM   ΛN IIII 28 IMR GORDIΛNVS PIVS FEL AV(G) Laurate PMS C-OL VIM   ΛN V 23             Philippus I 'Arabs'           IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS PIVS FEL ΛVG P Laurate PMS C-OL VIM   ΔN V 12 IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS ΛVG Laurate PMS C-OL VIM   ΛN V 01 IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS ΛVC Laurate PMS C-OL VIM   ΛN VI 03 IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS ΛVG Laurate PMS C-OL VIM   ΛN VII 09 IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS AVG Laurate PMS C-OL VIM   ΛN VIII 08 IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS ΛVG Laurate PMS C-OL VIM   ΛN VIIII 04             Philippus II (son of ...)                       IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS ΛVG Radiate PMS C-OL VIII   ΛN VIII 05 IMP M M/V IVL PHILIPPVS AVG Radiate PMS C-OL VIM   AN VIM 06             Trajanus Decius           IMP CAES  C MES O/Q DECIVS PP ΛVG Laurate PMS C-OL VIM Greets & Staff AN XI 07 IMP CAES  C MES Q DECIVS PP AVG Laurate PMS C-OL VIM   AN XI 08 IMP TRAIANVS DECIVS A Laurate PMS - C-O-L VIM Palmfr. & Orb ΛN XI 03 IMP CMQ TRAIANVS DECIVS ΛV Laurate PMS C-OL VIM   ΛN XII 05 IMP TRAIANVS DECIVS AVG Laurate PMS C-OL VIM   AN XII 06             Herennia Etruscilla (wife of T.
