<p>[QUOTE="Gallienus, post: 10061295, member: 42034"]I have a denarius with Marc Anthony/ Octavian bought ca. 1988 or 89 in New Orleans, LA. I believe this issue is dated to 31 BC. It shows a strong portrait of Marc Anthony with a childish portrait of Octavian. It's quite a common issue, which good for the collecting community as it means a nice portrait of M.A. is readily available. Even tho at this time one can see M.A. has put on a few pounds...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1523066[/ATTACH]</p><p>Roman Imperatorial</p><p>denarius, ca. 31 BC, Marc Anthony/ Octavian</p><p><br /></p><p>I will have to say that I really like the OP's tetradrachm featuring Claudius/ Antonia Minor.
