    OUT OF SEQUENCE NOTICE

    (And it's my fault) :banhappy:

    @Eduard had posted this lovely coin earlier - it was originally Post #17 - but the post was showing twice. Trying to be helpful, I removed what I assumed to be the duplicate (double-) post, but later discovered that the original had vanished too, and I couldn't restore either one! I swear there were two, with someone else's post between them! Not sure how that glitch happened.

    Anyway, my sincere apologies to @Eduard.

    I was at least able to copy the deleted post, which follows below.

    ...

    "Hope I am not too late with this sestertius of JVLIA (Livia)??

    Julia Augusta (Livia). Augusta, AD 14-29. Æ Sestertius, Rome mint. Struck under Tiberius, AD 22-23. Ornamented carpentum drawn right by two mules / Legend around large S • C. RIC I 51 (Tiberius)"

    So, to put us back on track, we need another Julia, or someone can move us on to Caius & Lucius next.

    Ps, sorry if I skipped anyone's Julia (the daughter). I WISH I had one of her. I remember being told that Augustus's embarrassment was so total with her that he had no coins with her likeness minted. Sometimes misinformation is good!

    I don't see why that wouldn't count for Caius (or Gaius) & Lucius. They're depicted on there, after all.

    And we're going to want to post posthumous restitution issues and such later, so... ?

    Anybody have another Gaius & Lucius?

    If not, Agrippa Postumus is next.

    I gather our next stop on the list, Agrippa Postumus, is another toughie? There's only one on Wildwinds.

    Then it's on to Tiberius, for whom I have two, and when we get there, @Roman Collector will finally get the chance to (legally) post his avatar coin, and @Mat can repost his Tiberius that got fouled earlier.

    @Nemo , I have all three varieties on one coin!

    I believe the boys were actually JUGGLING the Lituus and Simpulum, simultaneously ROLLING the two shields back and forth on my coin! Amazing circus feat those two performed on my coin! :D (BTW, that is WAY cool capturing 3 varieties! Very nice!)
