[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 3335388, member: 93702"]Justin Lee pointed out this mis-attributed bargain coin to me (a big thanks to him!). Was marked at Hadrian but just enough detail to confirm Aelius Caesar. Super modest example - but at a great price (!) it fills a hole I wasn't sure I would be able to fill in my Adopted Emperors collection. May look to upgrade in the future but as he is a minor player I am not too pushed and will see how it goes.. this is the seller's picture. I will try to get some better pictures over the next few days. In hand Fortuna and Spes can be defined pretty well and we couldn't find that reverse for Hadrian. [ATTACH=full]883510[/ATTACH] AELIUS (136-138). Sestertius. Rome. Obv: L AELIVS CAESAR. Bare headed and draped bust right. Rev: TR POT COS II / S-C. Fortuna standing right, holding rudder and cornucopia, Spes standing left, holding flower. 30.9MM . 23.32GM.[/QUOTE]
