[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2520751, member: 76194"]In the past few days I bought a Domitian after seeing the new arrivals in one of my dealer's inventory and falling in love with the dark toning. Interestingly enough, the reverse featured Minerva in a rostra with an owl at her feet, and shield and spear in hands. [ATTACH=full]537390[/ATTACH] Then I decided to jump on a Roman Republic coin that had been vexing me for several months, and as it turns out, it also featured Minerva on the reverse, this time ridding a quadriga. I didn't get it because of Minerva though, the expression on Apollo's face is what had be so captivated with this coin, despite the millions of excuses I made not to get it over the last few months. [ATTACH=full]537393[/ATTACH] Today another dealer let me know he got in a coin of an Emperor I had been looking to get for quite a while, and would you guess it also had Minerva on the reverse? LOL I didn't plan it this way at all, but funny how I went on a Minerva shopping spree without meaning to. I guess it's true what they say, good things come in threes. Anyway, here is my new Geta. Seller will have better pictures for me tomorrow as these are not that sharp. [ATTACH=full]537399[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
