That is quite an assembly of Imperial bronzes. Congratulations! What type is your Vitellius? (der Pertinax Sesterz scheint besonders schön und...
Mikey Zee, the incredibly high profile on that denarius is almost beyond 3-dimensional! It almost look as though the figure on the reverse was...
I really like Sabinas's hairdo. I wonder what Hadrianus had to say about that! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I do not have too many coins bearing the portraits of Roman ladies , but here is one that I like. There is probably more than one Faustina Senior...
There are some really nice coins of Augustus in this thread. Thanks to all for all the learning one can gather from such threads. Here are two...
Ok, one last one sestertius, and also my favorite. Nowhere near as nice as TIF's super Annona Ceres sestertius. It is again a bit rough, but...
One more example of a Nero sestertius for Aethelred's thread. The 'Roma Seated' type is another favorite type among collectors. My own example is...

What else can any mortal say. Simply superb. I want one too!
This was the first sestertius of Galba I obtained for my collection. It is not without its defects as seen, but it bears a nice, robust portrait...
And, I would also add that it is very difficult to judge a coin based on photos alone, unless you are dealing with a blatant and poorly made fake....
That is a truly beautiful bronze, Zumbly. I do not believe I have seen another better of that type. Lovely patina and very nicely detailed....
I am frankly amazed with the beauty of Ancient Joes's coin. I know very little about ancient greek coinage, but not so little that I cannot...
Nice coin, Julius Germanicus, und herzlich willkommen bei uns!
If we are only counting Emperors, and not their wives or relatives, then I can count an unbroken chain from Caesar (44 b.C) to Pertinax (193 a.d)....
