<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1133562, member: 5739&quot;]As some of you may know I have a fondness and passion for collecting Silver Antoninianii of Caracalla and Elagabalus, specifically Elagabalus, and specifically nice portraits of him. I just added this one to my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know the reverse is pretty weakly struck, but I bought it for the beautiful portrait.... such a great face and cuirass and everthing.... plus nice and round, and decent weight at 4.7 grams. I always liked the ones that mention his name &#039;Antoninus&#039; in some fashion on the back, like the &#039;SALUS ANTONINI&#039; or the &#039;VICTOR ANTONINI&#039; like this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>So here she is, what do you guys think?</p><p>I will post my other Elagabalus Antoninianii in the next post.</p><p><br /></p><p>------------------</p><p>Roman Empire</p><p>Emperor Varius &#039;Elagabalus&#039; Antoninus</p><p>AR Antoninianus, Rome Mint.</p><p>obv: IMP CAES M AUR ANTONINUS AUG - Radiate bust, draped and cuirassed. Seen from behind.</p><p>rev: VICTOR ANTONINI AUG - Victory advancing right, holding wreath.</p><p>4.7 grams.</p><p>-----------------[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
