Nice Gordies. A shame they are freezing up there near the North Pole. If you loved them, you'd send them on a one way trip to the tropical paradise of South Florida.

Here's some more Gordian III goodness. All in all I currently have 10 of his coins. Much more than any other Emperor in my collection. I'm probably going to add at least one more silver and one more bronze of his before the year is out.

 

Only one? Blasphemy. I might have to send you another before the year is out, and deduct it as a charitable donation. Hope the IRS doesn't hear that. LOL.

 

A pair of Dens to go with the Ants

 

Papa =

 

This thread needs more provincial Gordian goodness!

 

Nice one

 

I've got a few in my pocket right now (ha-ha). I have the "VIRTVS" reverse type along with "MARTEM PROPUGNATOREM" struck to fund the war with Persia, I guess. I also have a provincial bronze of the facing heads of Gordian and Tranquillina, very, very, very worn, though. Got it in another unidentified hoard. Oh wait, now he's my avatar!

 

Yes it does!
