[QUOTE="rexesq, post: 1133636, member: 5739"]I appreciate your kind words, Cucumbor has a truly beautiful collection. I have always tended to lean towards the Elagabalus Antoninianii, which got me into the Antoninianii of Caracalla.... maybe someday I will have a Macrinus, but not anytime in the near future I don't think. But I just love the young portraits and detailed cuirasses used on the AR Antoninianii of Elagabalus. I also like the stern and varied bust styles used for those of Caracalla plus the weight of them, I always prefered the heavier silver coins compared to denarii, but I like all Ancient Roman coins, just some more than others. Plus with Caracalla being the first to strike this denomination, that makes them a bit cool and historic. I think this period in Roman History had some of the best die engravers and artists working on the coins, in my opinion.[/QUOTE]
