<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 1837391, member: 57495&quot;]I picked up these two provincial asses earlier this month, largely because I&#039;ve been wanting a coin of Augustus for some time now.&nbsp; As a bonus, they came with an interesting provenance (Ex Archer M. Huntington Collection).&nbsp; Steve probably lassoed the best bull from the auction, but I think these two are not too shabby either!&nbsp; They&#039;re my first Roman provincial coins from Spain... likely not to be the last ones now.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a side note, I think a set of these bulls from the various Spanish mints operating during the period showcasing the different styles would make a nice series.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]304683[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>AUGUSTUS </b></p><p>L.
