<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Julius Germanicus, post: 7779764, member: 80783&quot;]wow, those are awesome examples!</p><p>&nbsp;I was just asking because I do not know of any military busts (with spear, shield, helmet etc) on the obverse of Aurei (or any regular non-provincial coinage, for that matter) before Postumus and Gallienus (sole reign).</p><p>Before 260 AD, theses kinds of busts were exclusively used on rare Medallions, starting with Marcus Aurelius I think.</p><p>The Aboukir Medallion is of a very similar bust design than the example you show which may not be a mere coincidence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
