[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8231406, member: 80952"]Thanks. That was the first Sestertius I have ever seen and remains my favorite. Especially since it was obscenely cheap - it was in my first lot of ancient coins I have seen - 100 EUR + taxes / 35 coins. Not all coins were that interesting, but the lot was very diverse, I identified all the coins myself, as an almost absolute beginner and this hobby started. I am not sure if the Julia Titi dupondius was a good deal for me - but the portrait is good and she's a tough one to find. My Domitia, although not in the best condition, was a steal and I was a little shocked for getting it for 10 EUR - was expecting ~30. Here are some other interesting (in my opinion) Flavian denarii. Budget purchases but I like the reverses that are not commonly encountered.
