<p>[QUOTE="alde, post: 2693320, member: 6043"]I already had 2 different Hadrian Neptune denarius. One with Neptune facing left with acrostolium and one facing right with dolphine. I saw this Neptune sestertius and thought it would fit well into the collection. I have to wonder why there are so many variations with some of these coins. Why not just one Neptune type instead of 4 different? I also wonder if these relate to the travel series as some think the ship coins do with the ship going in one direction for departing Rome and one going in the other direction for arriving home. Maybe the same with Neptune as a protector on the voyage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let's see those Neptune varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sellers description:</p><p>Hadrian, 117-138 AD.
