[QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 3933250, member: 96898"]What a very nice and thoughtful gift from your wife! Also, (belated?) happy birthday to you. I recall you mentioning in another thread that you were expecting this coin gift, and I'm glad you got such a lovely example with great reverse detail. I might have already stated this too often here on CT, but for me, the young Marcus Aurelius coins are a true highlight of Roman Imperial portraiture, and both your as and this denarius are good examples why.
