Thanks @Marsyas Mike I'd forgotten Aelius in my write up @Roman Collector , so thanks for the reminder! I have spotted a few so far that were...
Is that Lucius Verus on the right? Great pictures!
I started collecting last November or December, with an immediate focus on Marcus Aurelius and his relations, but that quickly expanded to cover...
That's interesting, but I've also read recently that the Antoninus coins as Caesar may also be from the period immediately after Hadrian's death...

My first sestertius was also a Hadrian: [ATTACH] My latest addition, also a sestertius, but this time of Lucius Verus: [ATTACH] As a collector...
