The device on coins of Decius is a Draco standard not a sword but it asked to be posted here anyway. There are dies with much better detail on the dragon head!

Oh thank goodness. It's been almost a week since you posted a Hadrian Imperial and we had Search and Rescue teams ready to deploy!

Hadrian looks quite serious in your latest addition.

... oh, but awesome new Hadrian addition!! (wow Oki, that is a gorgeous new Hadrian-sweetie!! ... yummy)

 

Umm, what's that hangin' off his cheek?

The alphabetical thread??? Now I have to look into that as well..Sheesh, it's tough being the new guy here LOL

Great posts...and I wish I could include mine, but they go back before my return to Ancients (i.e December, 2014) and I have no photos of them..a denarius and a few decent large bronzes (As and Sestertii)...

Love what all of you have collected!!!

 

very nice would love to own such a coin in this quality.


cheers

Could that be COS III? There seems to be a number/letter obliterated.

 

yes my Friend, COS II, forgot it.

Is it COS II or COS III?

 

If it's COS III, then it could be RIC 164d.

 

COS III

 

RIC 164d then I think.
