My limited budget, combined with interests in other numismatic areas has led me to roll back my spending a little.

They are of the three principal denominations of the Roman Empire; The aureus in gold, the denarius in silver and the sestertius in orichalcum (an alloy of copper).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1355605[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><font size="3">Roman Empire.
