<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 8103098, member: 75937&quot;]Wow! All of them are marvelous! I like the Trajan dupondius; it has a lovely patina and it&#039;s well-struck, well-centered, and well-preserved. Of course, I have to like the Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great denarii for their historic interest. I really like the Crispina denarius because of the air of mystery surrounding the reverse type. We don&#039;t know the circumstances surrounding the issuance of this coin. It would seem that the empress had dedicated an altar to the <i>dei genitales</i>, either for having had children, or that she might obtain fertility from them, or that she might commend the child, with which she was pregnant, to their care and protection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
