hi Don thanks for the quick reply, do you know who the emperor could be ? or date... I was thinking it was a posthumous of hadrian issued by antonius pius or posthumous of antonius pius by aurelius and verus but im totally mixed up now it's so hard and confusing trying to identify them.

DIVUS, the mark of consecration.--Thr word. Divus, on a coin, indicates that the same was struck after his apotheosis; after he was elevated to divine status; deification. (sometimes shown as Divvs).

Hi CRUSADER, thanks but what do you mean a reverse type we need?
We have had some coins with a similar type of shrine (Reverse type, the Obverse always being the head side) but not like that one on your silver denarius.
