[QUOTE="Spaniard, post: 8188312, member: 90248"][USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER]......Another enjoyable write up thanks... An interesting surmise AVG = Balkans. I've actually just picked up my first Bronze of Faustina I..... It was cheap and although quite worn still depicts a nice portrait of the Empress and I also liked the Phoenix on globe reverse... Diva Faustina Senior. Æ Sestertius (32mm, 21.19 g.) Rome mint, struck under Antoninus Pius, circa AD 146-161. Obv. DIVA FAVSTINA draped bust right. Rev. AETERNITAS S-C seated left, holding scepter and globe surmounted by phoenix....RICIII #1103 (Antoninus Pius) Reddish-brown patina. What is interesting about this coin is its Ric reference. All the 1103s I've looked at have the S C in the exergue? Any ideas? [ATTACH=full]1432975[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
