<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Margolis, post: 3258341, member: 88401&quot;]Said before my collection was complete at about 100 coins but this completes a three coin set that comprise from my bit of knowledge anyway the noble high point of the Roman Empire since Augustus and Nerva. The other two are the sestertius I use as a profile pic and a divus Aurelius sestertius. This is not an easy coin to come by I believe. Must give away a couple coins not in my themes to get back to 100.[ATTACH=full]856599[/ATTACH]</p><p>Marcus Aurelius, as Caesar, 139-161. Sestertius (Orichalcum, 31 mm, 27.64 g, 12 h), Rome, 145.
