What's not to love about a big pile o' arms. Great buy!

Marcus Aurelius's pile sans trophy.

I really liked the Trophy erected on the back of this issue (I have two coins from this issue):

Great post, @RAGNAROK ! I had to think about how many coins with trophy stands I have. I think this is all.

 

Nice coin and write-up!
My Augustus coin with a pile of shields has Tarpeia under the shields.

 

Finally I found all (I hope so! ) the "bankers marks/tests" (red) and "one graffiti?" (green) in my Carisivs Denarius:


It's ok? What else do ye see?

 

Wonderful reverse!!!

 

Great portrait!

 

Not bad at all! And your poster is a plus...
This "Judaea Capta" Vespasian/Titus gold aureus (easy, not mine...) looks a bit (spears and shield) like the Carisivs Denarius trophy:

 

I really like your new score @RAGNAROK and I need to get some Roman coins featuring a trophy.

 

Right now ye have two affordables Carisivs trophies like mine in SIXBID and two more (not so affordables) in VCoins...

 

RAGNAROK, nice new coin, and cool write-up.
