[QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 7464761, member: 96898"]That's a very ttractive example of this type, [USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER] ! Here is a coin with some very interesting monumental minutiae that will almost certainly make it to my "top 10 below $25" this year. The reverse of this denarius shows the temple of Divus Augustus with a tiny double statue of Livia and Augustus. Construction on the temple started shortly after Augustus's death in 14 AD. This coin was minted when the temple was restored under Antoninus Pius: [ATTACH=full]1293078[/ATTACH] [SIZE=3]Antoninus Pius, Roman Empire, denarius, 145–161 AD, Rome mint. Obv: ANTONINVS AVG PIVS PP, laureate head of Antoninus Pius r. Rev: TEMPLVM DIV AVG REST COS IIII; front view of octastyle temple, containing statues of Divus Augustus and Livia. 17mm, 2.62g. Ref: RIC III Antoninus Pius 143 (denarius).[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
