Great coin @ominus1 ! Congrats on the find

Fine catch. Palladium is the key. Would that be small Cupid ( Love).

 

i thought that rather looked like a winged figure..

 

Does Cupid fly ?

 

Congrats on the great (!!!) new denarius, @ominus1!

Here's my Sabina sestertius:

 

well, from what i've seen of most of his figures, he has wings...him.( Amor) and Eros...

 

I have always wanted a solid silver coin of hers with the 'fancy' hairdo but my only example is this fourree. Who has one to show?


CNG has sold some nice ones.

me also Doug...right now i'm looking at a Matidia with the hairdo as such..but i'm leary of it for fear its a fake...

 

Excellent coin my man! Nice Portrait, fun reverse. Very cool coin.
I just won one that I'm excited about.
Here's my one Sabine woman:

RIC.- - BMC/RE.1900

 

oh yeah, cool OP coin! Sabina is HIGH on my to get list! I think I have some type of thing for her.

 

A nice OP coin, I do not have the Vesta Reverse for Sabina.
I do have one with the "fancy" hair that I like very much!

 

..i just looked up a gold coin of this type..it's not a winged figure. he's holding something in his hands on either side..a spear and a shield.. learn something new everyday

 

"Veneri Gentrici" on my Sestertius can be translated as "to Venus the mother".
A hope that would not come true for the empress with a husband like Hadrian...

Here is Venus Gentrix at the Louvre in Paris, displaying the same pose:

 

Very nice! I still don't have a Sabina with a Vesta reverse. Most of mine have the shorter SABINA AVGVSTA legend, too. Here's one with the longer obverse legend such as yours. These early 2nd century denarii circulated for decades. I'm sure it's impregnated with pagan altar smoke, gladiator blood, centurion sweat, and olive oil.
