dlhill => thanks for tossing-in your gorgeous example (very cool coin & photo)

Ummm, are there any other examples out there? (Bueller?)

 

Clodius Albinus is still on my hit list of Romans I don't have. That is a very nice example @stevex6

 

thanks man

 

Good looking Minerva, Steve! nice, appealing coin.

Your example has an unusually (for the type) nicely detailed reverse.
Most come flatly struck, like mine:


Clodius Albinus denarius, Minerva. Rome mint.



Clodius Albinus Denarius, Rome mint - Romae Aeternae.


Clodius Albinus Denarius, Fides Legion (to the loyalty of the Legions), Lugdunum mint.
(note the different style of the bust compared with the Rome mint issues).

 

A rather poor sestertius of Clodius. Reverse 'appalling', but a really nice bust in my opinion.
(can't complain for 80 euros or so!)
