<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hotwheelsearl, post: 5190093, member: 75143&quot;]I recently got this THICK Antoninus Pius sestertius with an interesting dark blue patina.</p><p><br /></p><p>Advertised as Marcus Aurelius, this was about $13 from a Portuguese seller, took over two months to arrive.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although the surfaces are rather rough, overall it&#039;s decent, though, especially for the price.</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel like a blue patina is rather unusual, especially on a sestertius (those seem to tend to be every color BUT blue).</p><p><br /></p><p>At 30mm and a whopping 25g, this feels really heavy and satisfying in-hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t tell the attribution, but I think it&#039;s Pietas with an altar. There&#039;s something in exergue, which seems unusual for a sestertius, but again still can&#039;t place it.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1214075[/ATTACH] </p><p>post your blue men![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
