The Visgoths, Sisebut Gold Tresmissis, Emerita Mint 612-621 AD.



next a coin of a Roman Mistress.

 

I believe they are both of Sisebut one with a breastplate (someone may correct me). E.T is a good candidate though!

 

I almost uploaded A picture of the same type of coin! By the time I wrote my reponse and found the picture, you had yours posted. Great minds think alike!

Next (following succession): Nero

 

This sestertius of Claudius has the Nero countermark NCAPR right of the portrait. They are usually found left of the portrait on this type. Does this make it a coin of Nero?


If not, this Dupondius will have to do.


Next: Keep going to Galba but if you have a sestertius of Otho, please do show it here!!!

 

I spent my last sestertius of Otho in a vending machine for a box of Crackerjacks. I think the free toy was worth more.

anyhow, here he is in silver -
next...
Galba

 

P.S. Doug - that's a great looking counterstamp! so clear.

 

Galba:

Next: Vitellius

 

My recently-purchased Vitellius denarius:


And, just because I feel like it, my Galba denarius:



Next, to break the string: another legend saying OB CS or OB CIVES SERVATOS or other version thereof.

 

Go back to that vending machine and break it open and get your Otho sestertius back. You woz robbed!
