[QUOTE="Limes, post: 4577401, member: 101013"]You are certainly on a buying spree DonnaML :-) Just give it some time, I bet more setertii will join your first. It's a very nice looking sestertius, great reverse in particular. I like the way the bronze colour comes to the surface on the stag. An example of wear that in my opinion makes the coin more beautiful. Here's my coin of Philippus I arabs. It commemorates the big party in Rome held for its 1000th birthday. The party was so intense that the, most likely, intoxicated die-makers misspelled Senatus Consulto and had some trouble with the flan :-) [ATTACH=full]1133369[/ATTACH] I don't have that many sestertii in my collection. They are sure impressive, and I would like to add more. Here's my favorite, even though it received a bit of plastic chirgury: [ATTACH=full]1133374[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
