<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancient Aussie, post: 2590635, member: 80147&quot;]Have seen some amazing coins from my fellow CT members and very impressed, my buys this year are only about a dozen coins and are no-where near the caliber of what I have seen but not wanting to be a party pooper I will post my first ten this year.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]564000[/ATTACH] Nero, AR Denarius Temple of Vesta, 65-66 AD, RIC 62, 3.17gm.[ATTACH=full]564002[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]564003[/ATTACH] Roman republic, AR Denarius 55 BC, Villa Publica, bought this coin as there is a lot of history attached to this building, in 82 BC&nbsp; Sulla ordered the deaths of some 4000 Samnite and Democrat rebels that were in the building, becoming an horrific massacre,</p><p>Cr429/2b Syd 901a, 18mm, 3.6gm.[ATTACH=full]564009[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]564010[/ATTACH]I purchased this Hadrian Didrachm for it&#039;s sheer beauty, silver toned gold is something you don&#039;t see every day and being rare made it to good an opportunity to pass up. Cilicia Aegeae 117/118 AD, Athena standing, goat in in lower left field, SNG von Aulock 5449. Prieur 714. 10gm.[ATTACH=full]564011[/ATTACH] AE Sestertius, Antoninus Pius, Tiberis the river god intrigues me as having been to Tiber island I just had to have this coin. Rome 140 AD, 32mm, 26.5gm, RIC 642a.[ATTACH=full]564012[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]564013[/ATTACH]&nbsp; Another Antoninus Pius Sestertius honoring the temple of Augustus and Livia, a very large heavy coin 28.6 gm. I look at this coin as very rustic and has a very original feel to it. RIC 1004.[ATTACH=full]564014[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]564015[/ATTACH] Yes and one more Pius Sestertius, being a fan of his coins I wanted one with strong bust detail and this was the best I could find (and it cost me) Rome 142 AD. Apollo standing left, RIC 598, 22.4gm</p><p><b>The other four coins are on the Ancient Aussies top 10 for 2016 (cont) thread.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
