New and iam happy with it ROMAN EMPIRE TIME Dupondius 79-81 Kwaliteit: Schrötlingsfehler, VF | Afcortingen Catalogus: RIC 141 Materiaal: Brons Weight: 12.10 g DIVVS AVGVSTVS PATER, bust n.l. Rs: IMP T VESP - AVG REST / S-C Victoria in long gown n. L. Flying, in the right holding a small shield with SP / QR. I like the starr about his head/ there are type with no star
Super example!! I especially love the toning/patina---it looks aged and ancient, yet has a ton of eye-appeal!!!
Like everyone else, I have numerous coins of Augustus but not of the type you posted...but here's a provincial 'bronze' I'm quite fond of.
*awkward* Hey, ro ... sadly, this is all I have for Augustus examples ... Oh, but I "love" your sweet OP-Augustus (it's very cool)
Happiness=getting a nice coin or two or more! Coins/banknotes are the BEST! Honorable mention.....downing an ice cold Corona, after you been working (like me) on a hot, nasty, muggy Summer day Being, "unempolyed" is not so bad either....more time for pleasurable pastimes.
Awesome looking coin. Its always good to see a large coin with complete legends. And yes, happiness is sometimes getting a coin in the mail.
Very nice, Ro - I'm looking for one of those! My Octavian/Augustus so far: Denarius 32-29 BC, Pax standing, holding branch & cornucopiae, RIC 252 Tetradrachm, Antioch, 4-3 BC:
