Featured Coinage of Marcianopolis

I'm sure it is no where near my budget, but I will keep an eye out for it. Like someone already said, it's magnificent!

Sorry this is off Marcianopolis topic, but watch for this one in an upcoming CNG auction, too! Nicest triumphal arch sestertius of Nero I had ever seen...

 

Again, gorgeous coin, but the price tag will be beyond me. Hope you get what you need (it certainly should garner a lot of attention).

 

Impressive and beautiful medallion! Welcome, I'm looking forward to seeing the next coins that you'll be showing us .

 

Have mercy on the new guy...Off-topic again, but here's another one I got from CNG and they now have it back on consignment. Trajan sestertius: Reverse is nothing spectacular, but what a great, heroic bust of Trajan!

 

It IS a very nice portrait. His portraits, along with Hadrian's, are always impressive.

 

Great posts guys, I don't have one yet....but i loved the photos and the histiry and the maps...It brings it all to life..

Great job as always JA
