WONDERFUL POSTS !!

Not a one boring to my eyes!

Unfortunately I only have a denarius and a As that replicate the same devices.

 

Having a non-Tribute Penny type for Tiberius is quite admirable! Excellent acquisitions.

I do not have the Tiberius type, but I do of course have the rare Flavian imitations.

Thanks David, I really like those Flavians. That portrait of Titus is interesting.

 

Nice to see the Republican quadriga theme carried on so far into the Imperial period. I thought it was pretty much abandoned, but I have not studied much of the Imperial period coinage.

 

My favorite Tiberius coin shows the sons of Germanicus and Agrippina Senior on the reverse

I bought a tribute penny because everyone else was......bah bah bah.
Lugnunum mint, 3.54gm-18mm RIC 30.

 

I understood that Augustus' denarius could well had been a tribute penny too...


Augustus AR Denarius - Obv-Rev Sear 1578 NGC4276216-007

 

Same one I posted before ... I really like the portrait

 

I believe the reverse of this Tiberius coin has Livia sitting. AE As Rome, 15-16 AD, 10.4gm, RIC 34.

 

Tiberius AE As Restitution As by Titus, Minted Rome 80-81 AD, 27mm, 11.1gm, RIC 432.

 

Terrific examples guys!!

I might as well post my old sellers photo of my formerly slabbed 'AS' and my newly posted (a few days ago) bronze of Tiberius and Livia facing one another...



EDIT: I did not post my denarius (Aes instead) which needs a reshoot and has been deleted from my 'library'.

 

Now we are at my rough end Tiberius section, Altar of Lugnunum AE 28mm, 12gm, Minted Lugdunum 12-14 AD. RIC-245.
