[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2670839, member: 76194"]So here I was on my merry way, shopping for ancient silver goodies as usual, when a funny thing happened. I bought a chunk of ancient bronze. Don't panic...I promise hell didn't freeze over. And no... you are not dead, and the apocalypse is not upon us. I guess it was about time I learned to embrace ancient bronze. Enough blabbing from me, you came here to see the coin. It's this Gordian III sestertius. Did I ever mention how much I love Gordian III? Show me whatever coins you want to show off, doesn't even have to be Gordian III [ATTACH=full]594626[/ATTACH] Gordian III, AD 238-244 AE sestertius, 30mm, 16.5g, 12h; Rome mint, AD 241. Obv.: IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG; Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right. Rev.: SECVRITAS AVG; Securitas enthroned left, holding scepter, resting head on elbow leaning on chair back, S C in exergue. Reference: RIC IVc 311a, p. 49[/QUOTE]
