Yes she is a beauty, that's the one. "Come get me dude if you think you can"....thunder all around.....
I have a few, but they're not pretty - butt-ugly, really - which is appropriate, maybe. Domitia cistophorus - worn and bad photo': Sabina - why did I buy this?: Julia Titi - could be Domitian with a plait: Augustus - in better condition, this could be nice: Oh - and Caracalla and the Three Graces from an uncleaned lot from 2003. This was buried beneath such deep deposits that it wasn't possible to tell which was the obverse. I gave the coin to then-girlfriend in 2004, so it's long-gone! The best coin I ever found in an uncleaned lot. ATB, Aidan.
I am extremely disappointed with all of you friends. I was convinced that this forum was made up only of intellectuals. I started a thread with the word "butt" 36 hours ago and already over 1000 views ... You are just a gang of perverts only attracted by fresh flesh. It's disgusting. SHAME ON YOU!

I think this Apollo from Plotinopolis (Faustina II) is my best male coin butt: I don't fare as well on the female coin butts after my trade with Doug. My current best is probably this one: And the coin that came in trade is one of my runners-up on the male side: Another runner-up: Or does this count? Well, I guess you shoulda offered me a T. Didius in exchange then, eh? I suspect Doug means "in addition." (I actually prefer Doug's, with apologies to Martin. Legends shmegends, give me the portrait and the best Venus butt! On the sculptures, @Roman Collector has it right...)
The only thing I have studied more intensely and for a longer time than coins, must be female butts. Among my conclusions so far, is that even Venus herself is dethroned by the outsider Pax Nemesis, when it comes to the numismatic presentation of the female gluteus maximus. Pax looks like a recently retired sprinter on/with this reverse.

Please note you get titi and butt all at once Julia Titi, Denarius - Rome mint, c.AD 79-81 IVLIA AVGVSTA T AVG F, Bust of Julia right VENVS AVG, Venus leaning on a column, holding helmet and sceptre 3.03 gr Ref : Cohen #12, RCV #2611 Q
I had a talented Product Manager that was from Peru. The beautiful Lake Titicaca was divided between Bolivia and Peru. He always told me that he was fortunate to live as a Peruvian from the TITI side of the lake as opposed to a Bolivian from the CACA side of the lake. LOL.
I seem to be lacking in the gluteus maximus area of my collection. For some reason I really want a Venus leaning on column now. Syria, Decapolis, Gadara. Gordian III. The Three Graces. AD 238-244. Æ20, 3.60g., 11h. Dated CY 304 (AD 240/1). Obv: Radiate head right, Rev: The Three Graces.
