<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 929463, member: 5739&quot;]Wow Cucumbor, those are very beautiful Tetradrachmai!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The Severan period is where I have focused most of my effort when it comes to ancients. Specifically Elagabalus and Caracalla Antoninianii... those have always been my favorite, I just love the boyish portrait found on some coins of Elagabalus, like on this first one, dating to AD218 with Roma seated on the reverse and titles &#039;PM TR P COS PP&#039;.</p><p>&nbsp;Randy and many others have seen many of my nicer ones, so I will only post a couple. </p><p>&nbsp;The &#039;MARS VICTOR&#039; Antoninianus has a great reverse, but the obverse and flan leave something to be desired... but at 5.73grams it&#039;s nice heavy coin with a great reverse. As far as the &#039;VENUS VICTRIX&#039; Caracalla Antoninianus goes, it&#039;s one of my favorites, with the &#039;as seen from front&#039; bust, and a great strike on a very large flan. The reverse is great, note Venus&#039; shield.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
