RSC 347, S2477, RIC 131 VENVS VICTRIX, Venus standing left holding helmet, sceptre and leaning in shield
Mine is labeled as Gordianus Pius, but I cant verify if the name is correct. Does anyone recognize the reverse? Any idea on value range?
Thanks for helping me identify this. I was curious if there is a inexpensive guide on Roman coins that someone could recommend.

There is a book out there called Roman Coins and their Values, I think (I am away from my library). By Sears and published by Seaby, if I remember correctly. I do not know if it has been updated, lately. Many ancient coins, both Roman and Greek, are given "S" numbers, based on this reference and its related references.
