[QUOTE="TIF, post: 4557948, member: 56859"]Nice haul! I'd like to have a coin showing Caracalla and Geta shaking hands. It's such a "wishful thinking" scene :). I'll refrain from posting a Monty Python meme :D I like the Domna simply because it's a Domna and provincial. The double subtractive date on the Tiberius certainly adds to the cool factor. Here's a "shaking hands" reverse showing Elagabalus and one of his wives. Given its date of issue, the wife would likely be Aquilia Severa or Annia Faustina. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/elagabalusmarriagetet-rt-jpg.714611/[/IMG] [B]EGYPT, Alexandria. Elagabalus[/B] tetradrachm, 24 mm, 13.27 gm regnal year 4 Obv: laureate head right Rev: Elagabalus standing right and empress (Aquilia Severa or Annia Faustina) standing left, each holding scepter, clasping right hands; L ∆ across field Ref: Köln –; Dattari (Savio) 4098; K&G 56.43; Emmett 2929.4 (R4)[/QUOTE]
