Thanks, guys, and thanks Zumbly for posting your Marcus Aurelius. It is a nice coin, as yet missing from my collection. Like David, I also find...
And yet other times, there was no platform to accommodate the emperor and his officials, so he had to give his pep-talk from the saddle of his...
Sometimes of course, as was prone to happen during the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian, you may get called to see the emperor not to get any gifts,...

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...
Hmmm, very nice denarius, Zumbly!
Nice upgrade to the RECEPTA quinarius, and certainly a much scarcer type. That is a nice one, for sure. I have also thought about a nice...
