    Nice! I think the best thing about this lot really is the diversity of rulers, and considering you didn’t have a single sestertius, I’d say you really lucked out here. The inclusion of some scarcer/pricier ones (Orbiana, Mariniana, Aemilian) and others in better condition is really just the cherry on top.

    I like this one best so far:

    Have to redo photos on the remaining ones- too blurry.

    Very nice! The Herennia really is very lovely, and you're right about the Max Thrax. (Right up @Julius Germanicus's alley too.) The Orbiana and Aemilian don't disappoint, and I also quite like my mum's coin too. :shame:

    There’s a lot to like there. The Max Thrax, Herennia, and Sev’s mum stand out for me.

    Overall, I have to say I am very happy with this lot, particularly because it has such great variety. So many characters to learn about!

    What a wonderful gallery of Sestertii! I have been collecting those, especially of the 3rd century, for a couple of years now and I have never even had a chance to touch an Aemilian Sestertius so far. Your Herennia puts mine to shame and I would really want that Orbiana...
    Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I wouldn't dare bidding on such a lot without seeing all the coins, but you did very well. Gambling sometimes pays in return

    Congrats
