<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 1737688, member: 44140&quot;]Recently I was able to procure two very nice bronze coins in trade. I don&#039;t usually buy Roman Bronze coins or seek them out, This is my first As and first Sestertius. Who could not want 2 very serious ancient coins? I would like to hear what you guys think about my acquisitions. I am very pleased with the two pieces. I believe the attributions are as follows...</p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Empire</p><p>Gaius Germanicus (37-41 AD)</p><p>AE As 29mm x 11.42 g (s.37/8 AD)</p><p>Obverse: Latin Script-C CAESAR AVG GERMANICVS PON M TR POT, bare head of Gaius left.</p><p>Reverse: Latin Script-VESTA, Vesta seated left holding sceptre and Patera, S-C</p><p>ref: RIC 38; C. 27; CBN. 65; BMC 46</p><p>[ATTACH]273173.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The second is massive!</p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Empire </p><p>Antoninus Pius (138 -161 AD)</p><p>AE Sestertius 32mm x 27.87 g (s.139 AD)</p><p>Obverse: Latin Script-ANTONINVS AVG PIVS PP- Head right wearing laurel wreath.</p><p>Reverse: Latin Script- TR POT COS II, S-C, Fides wearing long chiton, standing facing, her head turned right holding two ears of corn in her right hand, holding up a plate of fruit in her left hand.</p><p>ref: RIC 546; C.846; BMC.1145</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]273176.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
