Message:: [QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 8106547, member: 110350"]Wow, what a magnificent group, and of course they're all in my favorite category of ancient coin! I voted for the beautiful Cassius Vesta/Temple "voting" denarius (high up on my personal want list) (#7), the Metellus Pius Scipio elephant (#5), and the Sextus Pompey Catanaean Brothers (#1) (one of the very few I've seen that comes really close to having the entire design on the flan; the majority are entirely missing one of the two brothers). If I could have voted for a fourth, it might have been #8 for it's wonderful portrait. My own recently-acquired Metellus Pius Scipio -- he was a descendant of Scipio Africanus, and a Metellus by adoption; his daughter was Pompey's fifth wife, and was previously married to Crassus's son until the unfortunate incident at Carrhae, so he was certainly well-connected despite all the aspersions cast on his military competence! -- probably isn't quite as nice as yours (not that it's a competition!). But I'm very happy with it, and it's definitely going to be on my own final top RR list whenever I get around to posting it: [ATTACH=full]1410208[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
