Here is a link to the thread to see my favorite Antoninianii of Elagabalus and Caracalla:</p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=163849&amp;p=1133568#post1133568" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=163849&amp;p=1133568#post1133568">http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=163849&amp;p=1133568#post1133568</a></p><p><br /></p><p>as far as some of my favorites of different emperors, well here is my all-time fave of Gordian III, it has an interesting portrait that almost looks like Balbinus kinda.... but certainly doesn&#039;t look the way Gordian III did in most his portraits., sadly he has a little ear nick. The reverse is just amazing on it as well.... I had trouble with the pics since I didn&#039;t want to take it out of the 2x2. The pic is big so you have to click it twice to see fullsize in it&#039;s own window.</p><p><br /></p><p>And my second favorite Gordian III is this VICTORIA AETERNA rev, partly because of how large and nice the flan is, and how amazingly well centered it is.... it weighs 5.10 grams, and the first one, the VICTORIA AUG Antoninianus weighs 5.49 Grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also really like this third picture, of the next emperor, Philip I.... it was the first quality Silver Roman coin I bought ever. FELICITAS TEMP, with a weight of 4.51gr[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
