[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8329068, member: 110226"]Excellent examples posted! My denarii purchases over the years have been next to nonexistent. I just can't concentrate on that series, as broad and complex as it is, while at the same time focus on Greek and Byzantine coinage. My resources just won't allow for that. When I do purchase a Roman coin, it is far more likely to be a imperial bronze or a Roman provincial coin. I find that in addition to the larger format, naturally, they can display great artistry and interesting subjects on the reverse. Here's a purchase from a couple years ago of an anepigraphic denarius of Sabina, 128-137/38 AD. [ATTACH=full]1476225[/ATTACH] And one more, Julia Domna, a MATER DEVM denarius of 198 AD. While readily available, generally, I was attracted by the coin's deep, rich toning. [ATTACH=full]1476226[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
