2021 Roman Acquisions

I realize that we have a ways to go before 2021 wraps up...

...but I decided to put together a virtual still life featuring this year’s Roman coins. Most of these were purchased this year. The excellent Trajan didrachm, ex: @Orfew collection, and the outstanding Antoninus Pius sestertius, ex: @John Anthony collection, I was fortunate to have in my collection already.



Thanks to all of you for the inspiration!

Feel free to post your recent Romans.

Beautiful pic and great coins this year.

 

Great pic! Is the sword also ancient?

 

@Deacon Ray Very nice. My favorite is the smallest coin, with the orange and green patina. What is the denomination of that coin? Is it Antoninus Pius?

 

Thanks, @kirispupis — I removed the ancient sword (stock photo) to make room for coin labels.

 

Thanks, @sand — the coin is an Antoninus Pius, Seleucis and Pieria, Æ Semis

 

Fantastic coins, @Deacon Ray! I hope your 2022 treats you just as kindly.

 

Thanks @Deacon Ray
I like your new OP photo, with the coin descriptions.
Of course, your new OP photo, rendered my question obsolete.
But that's okay. Thanks for answering my question anyway.
I also liked your original OP photo, with the sword.
I wouldn't mind seeing your original OP photo again, in a separate post, in this thread, just for fun.

 

@Deacon Ray P.S. : I'm amazed, that you were able to edit your OP at 5:40 am today, after having initially posted your OP at 4:36 pm yesterday. I'm not angry about it, or anything. I'm just slightly curious about it. Whenever I post something, I'm usually given approximately 2 hours to edit the post, before the post becomes permanent. Is there a trick, that I don't know about? Or do you have a special superpower?

 

Way to go DR! Look at all those beauties! And all "good guys". Maybe next year you can collect the nasties. Get a grouping of Caligula, Nero, Domitian, Commodus and Constantine

 

Thank you, @sand but I have no special power LOL

When I joined CoinTalk back in 2016 there was a much shorter window of time where you could edit a post but the kind folks who operate this site have generously extended that time frame.

 

If you're a supporter, they give you "superpowers" like that.

 

Lovely additions! I enjoy that Trajan tet and the AP sestertius. Will some of these additions end up in your top 10?

 

That Hadrian is amazing! Lovely coins and displays as always. I’ll never forget when you sent me those coins when I was starting out, @Bing helped me out as well! Hope you can get some more awesome Romans by the end of the year and into next year.
