Awesome share! I have a Cappadocian Drachm of Hadrian with Mt. Argues on the reverse, still looking to find a nice Di, and hemi to go with it

 

I really like quinarii, but they are hard to obtain from the Imperial period. Great coin! Here is one of the last quinarii issued:


Diocletian, issued c. 284. RIC 195.

 

Augustus quinarius

 

@Severus Alexander Nice later date quinarius

 

@JayAg47 Fine looking Augustus Quinarius

 

Very interesting coins. I'm afraid I have no Imperial quinarii at all, only these two common Roman Republican examples -- one issued by M. Cato and the other by Cn. Lentulus Clodianus Cornelia:

 

@DonnaML Fantastic Republican era examples!

 

Wow, @Antonius Britannia! I have no imperial quinarii, either. I only have this Republican one.

@Roman Collector fine Republican era Quinarius!

 

@ambr0zie I really like the depiction of Victory on the reverse

Thank you. I believe most of mine are from the Republic.
