<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1152810, member: 5739&quot;]<b>My Favorite Elagabalus Antoninianii</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Nice one&#039;s <b>Randy</b>, and everyone else! </p><p><b>ikandiggit</b> I really like that type of Gordian Antoninianus, the SAECULI FELICITAS from the Antioch mint, I have one myself, your reverse looks a bit nicer than mine. Also a very nice one of Postumus, great reverse detail.... I don&#039;t have any coins of him.</p><p><b>Doug</b> as you know, I just love your Caracalla Ant, that is the bust type I still don&#039;t have, beautiful reverse as well, great coin. I also am envious of your Philip I VICTORIA CARPICA Ant, sounds like you did well with that one if the dealer didn&#039;t know how rare it is. Lucky one!</p><p><b>Mat</b> That Otacilia Severa ant is still one of the nicest style examples I have seen, and I really like that Gallienus..... I mean a Gallienus over 5 grams, pretty cool, looks like good silver too. I have a Gallienus, with good silver that weighs 5.1 grams.... I thought yours weighed more... like 5.4 grams or so...... either way, both yours and mine are the heaviest Gallienus coins I have seen.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have quite a few Antoninianii, and have trouble narrowing down a &#039;best&#039; one.... but when it comes to one of my favorite Emperors to collect Antoninianii from(Elagabalus), these two are my &#039;best&#039; and my favorite.... I just love the beautifully done boyish portrait of this young Emperor. I like Elagabalus Antoninianii because I find the workmanship to be exsquisite on some, and I like that they are some of the earliest Antoninianii.... I also have several of Caracalla, the first to introduce the &#039;Antoninianus&#039; as we call it today, after him. I also like the fact that during the reign of Elagabalus, the Antoninianii were still pretty heavy and fairly good silver, as well as being struck on large flans.</p><p>So here are my &#039;best&#039; Elagabalus Antoninianii.... the Roma seated reverse is my favorite, I just love the portrait...... the TEMPORUM FELICITAS is also quite a beautiful young portrait, and has some really pretty toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
