Lucius Verus Concord Sestertius

Mine kinda looks like it went through a rock tumlber and came out looking even worse than before.

Interesting - I see the Roma example calls it "cuirassed" without mentioning the drapery. This confused me when I was originally researching this (sometimes I cannot tell if something is just draped or draped & cuirassed - always looking for some armor peeping out from under the cloak, but my coins are mostly low grade, so I am not always successful. In this case, I wasn't really seeing armor on mine or the Wildwinds examples, but both are pretty worn).

I don't know German, but that Rauch description "Büste mit Drapierung" sounds about right to me! Beautiful specimen too.

Thanks for passing these along; I'll add them to my files.

 

That's an old topic, but I could have joined the club and posted my own Lucius Verus handshake sestertius :
