    Lovely Hadrian! I need to get one of him still, I hope I’m able to find one in such a nice condition as you have!

    Ha!! I just knew someone had to have done this before but I couldn’t find it searching in the archives. Indiana Jones I am not :artist: excellent collection of Flavians! Divus Vespasian is especially choice!

    Thanks. I don't usually buy coins in this grade and am lucky to have been able to snag this one.

    If you’re just popping into this thread we are now looking for Marcus Aurelius & Lucius Verus to continue the chronology!

    I think we're up to Septimius and Caracalla...
    here is a denarius of Septimius Sev. and a sestertius of one of his sons - Caracalla...
