<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2278905, member: 74968&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>I just picked up a couple of coins at a coin show. The first is a quinarius of Octavian. This one replaces my Augustus As in my 12 Caesars set. I now have the entire set in silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Augustus. 27 BC-AD 14. AR Quinarius, Brundisium or Roma 29-27 BC, AR 1.63 g.

When I saw the condition of this one I had to have it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Diadumenian, AR Denarius, 218, Rome 20mm x 21mm, 3.47 g</p><p>M OPEL ANT DIADVMENIAN CAES</p><p>Bare head, draped bust right</p><p>PRINC .

I thought I would share a picture of the 12 Caesars in my new Abafil case. To those who do not like the 12 Caesars, please feel free to ignore my post if you desire.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also picked up a Balbinus denarius at the show, but it has a hole in it so it is not a pretty coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
