<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3071237, member: 19463"]There is some disagreement on what to include in the 'Travel Series'. Purists might only allow the coins with a one word place name 'Africa' or 'Alexandria' while others will include anything wit a boat or commemorating a building project somewhere in the Empire. I am in the last mentioned group. The as below shows Hadrian as restorer of Africa. That is slightly different from just going there. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]771821[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This denarius (not mine) shows Oceanus posing a lot like we see on the travel figures but the legends are offices rather than stating 'Ocean'. To include this one might be more of a stretch. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]771823[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
