    That is not an easy request - will be interesting to see if anything turns up - I think that even the most common (Seleucis and Pieria, Antioch, AE of Otho) is relatively rare....

    I actually didn't think it would be that tough. I've seen quite a few travel denarii on this forum, and there are many reverses other than the Aegyptos personification. The same goes for the Otho AE from the post before, as I recall seeing a few Otho AEs from Antioch on this forum. I suppose it depends on who's active at the moment.

    Hi,

    Does 'empress' mean a female ruler (eg Zenobia) or the wife of a male ruler (eg Faustina) or either? I don't plan to post either way.

    - Broucheion

    Either, or even an emperor's mother, grandmother, or daughter, as long as they held the title of Augusta.

    A spectacular Aurelian! A man so deserving of beautiful coins, yet is so hard to find one like this beauty. He is one of my favorite of all Augusti.
