[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3095619, member: 76194"]This is a reverse I've wanted for a while for it's similarity to another reverse I already possess. [ATTACH=full]782160[/ATTACH] Gordian III, 238 - 244 AD Silver Antoninianus, Rome Mint, 23mm, 4.31 grams Obverse: IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Gordian right. Reverse: IOVI STATORI, Jupiter standing facing, head right, holding scepter and thunderbolt. RIC84 As you can see, this Jupiter reverse is different in that Jupiter is holding his scepter and thunderbolt in the opposite hands, plus in the one below the emperor is seen next to Jupiter. [ATTACH=full]782159[/ATTACH] * well, the celator for this emperor with Jupiter coin clearly botched Gordian III's nose too. :p [B]Post whatever you want to post[/B][/QUOTE]
