    Faustina Jr. has some of the most beautiful portraiture on Roman coinage in my eyes. It took me three tries to get to this aureus (liking but not loving the previous two):

    Oh, SWEET!

    I like that I have a denarius in a style similar to yours.

    Incidently, I have one of Faustina I that I have had for a while but not photographed (or posted) before now, so here’s that one too:

    It did. I was looking forward to receiving it. The idea that someone stole it still bothers me. If I ever see it for sale somewhere, I'll be quite annoyed.
