Wow, that's a sweet Ot-addition, panzerdawg (congrats on another sweet AR score) Hey, I have two examples of this cool Roman babe ... I have one silver example (yah, it's a bit more worn than your OP-beauty) => and one sweet bronze ... cha-ching!!
Terrific example @panzerman !!! Naturally, I love the hippo varieties that Steve and Bing posted, but I'm hippo-less and my only example is a Heritage slab purchased long ago with the seller's photo:
NICE JOB @panzerman ! You stated that you were branching out into AR Denarii, and you have posted some nice ones! All my gold is in Moderns... and I collect Ancients via a Historical approach... so I have no qualms with Bronze, Lead, Electrum, Silver, Billon, some Gold and all being worn from circulation. I JUST got this Oticilia Severa recently... Still have to put it into my Album... I have a stack still waiting to be slotted. RI Otacilia Severa 244-249 CE Pietas Augustae incense RIC IV 43 O-R.jpg
