<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evan Saltis, post: 5651937, member: 103066&quot;]<font size="4">Here are my new ancients I bought. My second tet, and my very first sestertius!

Gordian III portraiture looks oddly like my 18-year-old cousin who passed away in October in a car crash nearby my college.&nbsp; Here are my pics of my new additions, which I find rather sexy.</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><img src="https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/52/X/6/XGt9pF3j6yJKQ5kqdME8Y7qrzH2fB4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4"><b>Claudius II (268-270 AD)</b></font></p><p><font size="4"><i>21mm, 9.24g</i></font></p><p><font size="4"><b>Obverse</b></font></p><p>Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right</p><p>Lettering: ΑΥΤ Κ ΚΛΑΥΔΙΟϹ ϹΕΒ</p><p>Translation:</p><p>Autokratoros Kaisaros Klaudios Sebastos</p><p>(Emperor Cesar Claudius august)</p><p><font size="4"><b>Reverse</b></font></p><p>Eagle standing right, holding wreath in beak, palm branch over shoulder</p><p>Lettering: L Β</p><p>Translation: Year 2</p><p>Köln 3028, Milne 4248, Dattari 5417, Emmett 3879</p><p><br /></p><p>And the big boi!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://en.numista.com/vous/pictures/129122/e5158e0d33db0e3186187be150dfdab16e1094f7512e2395dca50b603699b6c5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Gordian III, 238 - 244 AD</p><p>AE Sestertius, Rome Mint, 31mm, 20.06 grams</p><p>Obverse: IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG, Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Gordian right.</p><p>Reverse: LAETITIA AVG S C, Laetitia standing left holding wreath and anchor.</p><p>RIC 300a</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You guys know the deal...
