I agree - the contrasting colors are quite beautiful. I have one of the same ("Anonna") type but with a bust type that is common on later...
Just found this, but even though it is April I thought I would post something: I had one overriding goal - to find a sestertius of Septimius...
Dupondii of Septimius Severus have been noted for their scarcity, I recall reading a series of posts somewhere on this very issue. I have been...
This is great, and fascinating for what are missing as well - no coins of women, none of Vitellius, so many of Galba, and no provincial coins....
I recall reading that a group of the legionary series of Marc Antony were found, all from different legions, indicating that they were being...
The size is 31mm, weight is 21.05 grams

Oddly enough this is a die match on the obverse and reverse to my coin. That means that of the three coin, all share the same reverse, and two...
Beautiful coin - I must have missed it in my review of the BM coins. It is far nicer than the one I purchased, and the reverse is from the same...
I just purchased a very nice but fairly worn sestertius of Elagablus - I will post it when it arrives in the mail, probably a few weeks from now....
It cost me about $229 - another giveaway?
