Here's my Commodus sestertius showing Janus in a temple/shrine, as in the OP (if not as nice): [ATTACH] Commodus Æ Sestertius (186...
I am bringing back this thread because as with all of @Jochen1 threads, it is very informative and awesome. I also bring it up because I just...
Two via the generosity of CTer @tenbobbit last fall - Antioch and Trier. The Trier has a sporty green beard and the most awesome eyebrows in all...
Great coins on this thread for sure. Here is a sestertius of Commodus (with a @dougsmit note on the date): [ATTACH] Commodus Æ...
