This little beauty arrived today, courtesy of my comrade-in-coins Mat. A pleasure doing business with you, sir! :thumb: :yes::thumb: Trajan (98 - 117 A.D.) O: IMP CAES NERVA TRAIAN AVG GERM, Laureate head right. R: P M TR P COS IIII P P, Victory standing facing, head left, holding wreath and palm. Rome 17.6mm 3.3g RIC 58 RSC 240 BMCRE 115
Very nice Trajan Denarius. I like a lot of those portraits done during the Nerva and the five good emperors era.
All the ancient threads have gotten weird since stevex joined. He's a bad influence, I'm telling you. :3three:
Wha? ... huh? ... man, I wasn't even involved this time around and I still ended-up being the fall-guy!! (that ain't right)
I had this rarity in the mailbox this morning. Worn, but oh so rare... Marciana (Trajan's sis)... DIVA AVGVSTA MARCIANA rev CONSECRATIO RIC 743, BMC 650
I thought about that in a trade with steve, the dealer but I opted for something else. I didnt think I could live with its wear.
