<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2247092, member: 72818&quot;]While some may believe I am referring to myself<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, I&#039;m actually describing a &#039;Copper&#039; that caught my eye on Forum Auctions. It has been my experience that Forums&#039;s offerings are always superior in hand than in the listed sellers photos. This example is well centered, with legends quite clear and allows me to add another Gordian to my sole denarius---at an incredibly low price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post any related coins...</p><p><br /></p><p>Gordian III, July 29 238 AD - Feb. 25 244 AD</p><p>Copper As, SRCV III 8780, RIC VI 298b, Cohen 112, Hunter III 128</p><p>Rome mint, Fine, 8.75 grams, 23 mm</p><p><br /></p><p>GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG;&nbsp; Laureated, draped, cuirassed bust right</p><p>IOVI STATORI; Jupiter standing/facing, naked, head right; long scepter vertical in right, thunderbolt in left. (Butte College, ex Lindgren)</p><p><br /></p><p>As Forum states: &quot;Jupiter or Jove to the Greeks, was the king of the God&#039;s and the king of the sky and thunder, and of law and social order. As the patron deity of ancient Rome, he was the chief god of the Capitoline triad, with his sister and wife Juno. The father of Mars, he is therefore, the grandfather of Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]444021[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
