Pish has said it all!!!

 

I consider the GENIO SENATVS of Pius a bit special due to the fight he had with the Senate over the deification of Hadrian. It turned out that the Senate showed its 'genius' by giving in to Pius' desire.

 

Genius of Antioch from the Anonymous Pagan issue of that city.

Hello friends. I like this thread. This one is a Genio on the reverse of Constantius I. I admit that I couldn't find the letter I to right of reverse, on WildWinds.

Maybe not the genius your looking for but definitely the one you need. Evan was accepted into pre-K @ 2.5 yrs old. School administrators believe he is smarter than the average bear.

 

Thanks Pish. I can also find out that Genio was a shameless god.

 

Little noob is sure growing. Good looking kid. Must look like his Ma.

 

Thanks. He may look like Mommy but he is endowed with the spirit of Daddy.

 

...but does he collect ancient coins?

It is way too much to expect Wildwinds etc. to have all of the workshops. Mine is E=5; yours I=10; RIC 53A allows ten officinae choices for this C2 common coin.

Good work!

 

Genius thread, Pish . Lots of great coins here.

Genius of Claudius Gothicus...
