next a coin from the crusades

 

This may not be technically a coin from the Crusades but it is a coin of the famous Crusader Richard the Lionhearted of England.

More than 12 hours and this thread fell off of page 1, so I'm posting this one:


Gallienus, AD 253-268.
Roman billon antoninianus, 4.26 g, 18.8 mm, 12 h.
Antioch, 15th emission, AD 266-268.
Obv: GALLIENVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust, right.
Rev: AETERNITAS AVG, Saturn standing right, holding harpa in left hand; PXV in exergue.
Refs: RIC 606; Göbl 1662i; Cohen 44; RCV 10170.

Next: Coins depicting BUDDIES

 

That is a hard one. The two person coins that come to my mind show father/son, brother/brother, sister/sister or boss/underling relationships rather than 'buddies'. I will be interested what someone comes up with.

 

I call 'm buddies because they worked well together as long as Lucius lived.



next: sestertius of Marcus Aurelius

 

Augustus and Agrippa is one thought, also.

 

Don't have a sestertius of M. Aurelius, surely someone does.

 

MARCUS AURELIUS Sestertius

RI Aurelius Marcus 161-180 AE Sestertius S-C

Next: Dupondius

 

MARCUS AURELIUS
AE Sestertius
OBVERSE: AVRELIVS CAESAR AVG PII F COS, bare head right
REVERSE: IVVENTAS S C, Juventas, wearing a long robe, standing left, holding a patera, sprinkling incense on a candelabrum
Struck at Rome, 140 AD
12.4g, 27mm
RIC 1232, C 393, S4831

Next: Another Juventas (ancient Roman goddess whose sphere of tutelage was youth and rejuvenation. She was especially the goddess of young men "new to wearing the toga")

Too late: What Algandron said

 

I'll guess you mean a dupondius of Marcus Aurelius , Alegandron


next: an As of Marcus Aurelius

 

>24 hour rule - it could be that no one has an As of Marcus Aurelius - I do not - OR perhaps that this thread is ending at 200 pages OR maybe one more round...

A Marcus Aurelius as Caesar - Honos, personified honor, appears to be growing a branch rather than holding one on this reverse and the COS II looks more like COO II to me:
Marcus Aurelius, as Caesar, 139-161, AR Denarius, Rome, circa 144
Obv: AVRELIVS CAESAR AVG PII F Bare head of Marcus Aurelius to right
Rev: COS II, Honos standing front, head to left, holding branch in his right hand and cornucopiae in his left
Ref: RIC 429a
Size: 3.22g, 16mm

Next: another HONOS or VIRTUS

 

My favorite VIRTVS:


Gallienus, AD 253-268.
Roman billon antoninianus, 3.61 g, 21.1 mm, 12 h.
Cologne, AD 257-258.
Obv: GALLIENVS P F AVG, radiate and cuirassed bust, right.
Rev: VIRTVS AVGG, Gallienus in military attire standing right, holding spear and standard.
Refs: RIC 58F; Göbl 8821; Cohen 1309; RCV 10413; Hunter 58; ERIC II 1030.

Next: Military standard.
