    I had a long dry spell on coins..hadn't won one since October 9th and had bid on several!...But yea he who hast been sniped so shall himself also snippeth :)rolleyes:)
    Really tho, the wording on the listing may have turned other bidders away, i had to research it after it came up several times on my want list. So, here in the waning last days of 2018 is my completion of Trajan Decius family and another emperor of 251. Two conflicting stories of this young emperors short 5-6 month reign abound that he either died from the plaque or Trebonus Gallus killed him..either way his time as co-emperor was from sometime in May to November 251 AD..

    Hope you complete the series. I don't have Hostilian, so I feel hostile to him until I get one of his coins. I do have however coins of Trajan Decius. This is the best of his that I own, as far as condition. It's a silver Tet.. BMC 578.

    Trajan Decius antoninianus - no Hostilian for me yet. Reverse is the minor personification Abundantia.

    Glad it found a good home ;) I was the seller, and you got a teriffic price if I do say so myself.

    Here is the Hostilian that bumped that coin out of my collection
    Hostilian MARTI PROPVGNATORI.jpg

    And I also added a much rarer issue of his brief stint as Augustus, mis-attributed by the auction house as a Caesar issue (although it was still not a cheap coin!)
