<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1143417, member: 5739&quot;]I did not know you were doing any such hunt <b>Ripley</b>, interesting..... some good ebay sellers for coins are &#039;ancient_treasures&#039; - that&#039;s who I bought this Antoninus Pius Dupondius from, &#039;amphora coins&#039; has some wonderful Romano/Greek and Syro-Phoenician Tetradrachmai at times, as well as alot of provincial stuff so does &#039;ancient_treasures&#039; when it comes to bronzes and provincial stuff, even a few from the republican times.</p><p>&nbsp;Also Vcoins and FORVM , both websites, if you follow my link at the bottom of the page to my collection, you will be at the FORVM site, they have stuff for sale always, and usually fair prices, slight markup. </p><p>PM me if you need help with anything <b>Ripley</b>, or need info on a seller on ebay.</p><p>-----------------------------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, <b>Randy</b> I think you were right all along about it being Annona.... the modius made me think it could be. </p><p>It&#039;s quite interesting how she is seated holding a cornucopia, but her other hand is empty, resting at <u>her</u> right side, not holding or doing anything with it like most.</p><p><br /></p><p>From looking on wildwinds, heres what I figured out.... it looks just like RIC 262 (silver denarius), except it is not a denarius... also looks a bit like their picture of RIC 956 (As).... bt that is it! I can&#039;t find it as a dupondius, which it CLEARLY is, by the radiate crown, all I can find with that reverse are a denarius an as type...... so I still don&#039;t know, but I know it&#039;s annona now (I think)</p><p>... but I think I at least now know the titles:</p><p><br /></p><p>--------------</p><p>Antoninus Pius (138-161 A.D.)
