<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancient Aussie, post: 4907487, member: 80147&quot;]Just noticed a 2016 thread that I posted called &quot;the one that got away&quot; my OP is a die match for this one, here is what I posted back then...............</p><p>Even with my best efforts and willingness to pay heaps, this Commodus, Augusta Traiana coin just kept going up at the just closed biddr.ch auction,</p><p>I wanted it to complement my Septimius Severus (193-211 AD) coin of the same location. Interesting only about 20 years earlier the difference in the rendering of the city gate/battlement towers. Commodus had an arched entrance gate, and five windows in the towers. Septimus Severus had square doorway, and a row of what looks like windows above. Anyway I will live to fight another day, directly below the Commodus of similar size and weight to an Imperial sestertius, and below that my coin. Thrace, Augusta Traiana, Septimus Seveverus 15.4gm, 29mm Varbanov 961. <img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/51315-l-jpg.536190/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>So it didn&#039;t get away after all !!!!!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
