<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 5399158, member: 85693&quot;]The 19 grams would be a sestertius - Antoninus Pius, Annona (goddess/personification of the grain supply) on the reverse holding a rudder and hiking her foot on a ship&#039;s prow (signifying the grain fleet bringing foodstuffs to Rome from Africa).&nbsp; There are a lot of variations of this type for Antoninus Pius, so I am not sure which one.&nbsp; A nice, hefty one to have. </p><p><br /></p><p>The second photo is Faustina I - denomination is an &quot;as&quot;&nbsp; She was the wife of Antoninus Pius.&nbsp; This seems to be issued after her death - a lot of these were issued, most with goddesses on the reverse.&nbsp; I am not exactly sure which one here.&nbsp; The reverse inscription appears to be AETERNITAS. </p><p><br /></p><p>The next three look like Roman Provincials to me - these were issued by Roman cities in the eastern Mediterranean, Asia Minor, Balkans, etc.&nbsp; There are a gazillion types on these, and it will be a lot of fun trying to figure these out.&nbsp; That one with a temple in particular is interesting - and a desirable type for collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
