[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 7786078, member: 74968"]Thanks Thomas, another great auction! Had 2 main targets and bought 3. This coin is the last I acquired and was won after getting my main targets. Why did I buy it? It definitely is not the subject matter I usually pursue. I won a 1900 year old coin of a famous Roman emperor for the price of a burger and fries. Good enough reason for me. [ATTACH=full]1336346[/ATTACH] CAPPADOCIA, Caesarea: Hadrian (117-138), AR Hemidrachm, uncertain year. 1.37g, 15.5mm. Obv: AΥΤΟ ΚΑΙC ΤΡΑΙ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟC CΕΒΑCΤ; laureate bust right, with slight drapery. Rev: Nike advancing right, holding wreath in right hand and palm in left. RPC III 3074, BMC 142 AMCC #3 Lot 529. July 25, 2021 The following coin is a rare denarius for Titus as Caesar. I have one of these already but this one is better than the one I had so... I loved the portrait on this one as well. [ATTACH=full]1336344[/ATTACH] Titus as Caesar (69-79) AR denarius, issued 76. Rome, 3.28g, 19mm. Obv: T CAESAR IMP VESPASIAN; laureate head right Rev: IOVIS CVSTOS; Jupiter standing left, holding scepter and patera, altar at feet left. RIC 863(R2); BMCRE -; RSC 166. From the Severus Alexander collection, acquired from Gitbud & Naumann on VCoins in 2013. Rare; only 4 on acsearch. AMCC #3 Lot 198 July 25, 2021 My main target was the following denarius for Vespasian. I have wanted one of these for years and had not seen one in the last several years that I had been looking. I was very jealous when [USER=101013]@Limes[/USER] posted this coin on CT. I am absolutely thrilled to have landed this one. [ATTACH=full]1336345[/ATTACH] Vespasian (69-79) AR denarius, issued 76. Rome, 3.39g, 18mm. Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG; laureate head r. Rev: PON MAX TR P COS VII; Pax seated l., holding olive branch RIC II 852 (scarce) From the Limes collection AMCC #3 Lot 197 July 25, 2021 Thanks again to Thomas for a fun and interesting auction.[/QUOTE]
