<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4599223, member: 110350&quot;]My Marcus Aurelius sestertius arrived today, and it was great to hold it in my hand: the diameter isn&#039;t that much bigger than my handful of asses and dupondii, but it&#039;s noticeably thicker, and feels very heavy by comparison when I hold it -- more so than the Philip II sestertius that was my first. I suppose sestertii were lighter by the mid-3rd century, 100 years after Marcus Aurelius.</p><p><br /></p><p>I took a couple of photos that show a little more detail than the seller&#039;s photos. They&#039;re lighter than the actual color (which is more of a chocolate brown, like the seller&#039;s photos), but it was a deliberate trade-off so the details would come across more clearly.&nbsp; I&#039;ll keep both sets!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1139088[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1139089[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
