[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 8080239, member: 75937"]Nice coin and educational write-up, [USER=128351]@GinoLR[/USER]. I didn't know there were many Republican coins depicting Libertas. Of course, Libertas on Imperial coins is very common -- with some emperors more than others. Here are some that folks haven't posted yet. This Nerva is more interesting for the size of his nose than for the depiction of Libertas: [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/nerva-libertas-pvblica-denarius-trpii-cos-iii-jpg.957639/[/IMG] Nerva, AD 96-98. Roman AR denarius, 2.65 g, 17.1 mm, 6 h. Rome, 18 Sept - Dec AD 97. Obv: IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M TR P II COS III P P, radiate head, right. Rev: LIBERTAS PVBLICA, Liberty standing left, holding pileus and scepter. Refs: RIC 31; BMCRE 61; Cohen 117; RCV --; ERIC II 83. This Severus Alexander is pleasing. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/severus-alexander-pm-trp-viii-cos-iii-p-p-s-c-libertas-sestertius-jpg.1274913/[/IMG] Severus Alexander, AD 222-235. Roman Æ sestertius; 21.72 gm, 28.4 mm. Rome, AD 229. Obv: IMP SEV ALEXANDER AVG, Laureate head right; slight drapery on left shoulder. Rev: P M TR P VIII COS III P P S C, Libertas standing left, holding pileus and scepter. Refs: RIC 492; BMCRE 570; Cohen 372; RCV 7996. My favorite is this one of Gordian III: [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/gordian-iii-libertas-standing-sestertius-jpg.1025654/[/IMG] Gordian III, AD 238-244. Roman Æ sestertius, 24.30 gm, 28.7 mm, 12 h. Rome, AD 240. Obv: IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust, right. Rev: LIBERTAS AVG SC, Libertas standing left, holding pileus and scepter. Refs: RIC 318a; Cohen 153; RCV 8717; Hunter 147. T-Bone was WAY into Libertas.
