A wonderful Denarius! I'm very curious to see what bronze you might post.
Sure looks like. This was the closest I could find :/
It looks like Caracalla too me:o but not certain. At first I thought maybe shield, but the closest looking coin I could find on wildwinds.com was...

#3 is a tie between these sestertii. Of the two, I like the one of Pius the most but thy are both really great coins. Both are nice and heavy,...
I'm with Mat, Doug. and others, buy what I like; which isn't always what others like :D . Completing a set is more up to you as to what makes up a...
