<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 2736771, member: 74712&quot;]Here is another recent purchase of mine in the ancients categories.&nbsp; While a coin of Commodus has been on my want list for a while, it&#039;s really a depiction of Commodus as Hercules that I am after.&nbsp; This is certainly not the Hercules Denarius, but I found this youthful portrait of Commodus very pleasing and well done, and decided to snatch it up anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]623810[/ATTACH] </p><p>Imperial Rome</p><p>Commodus, r. 177-192 A.D.
