    All of them are great! I agree with @panzerman , the Domitian is spectacular.

    LOL, like ALL Othos: I want to rip his wig off his head! :)

    My favorite is the Claudius fouree. It's different and I like it. A good collecting year for you.

    Really cool stuff! I really like all three temple coins -- the two of Antoninus Pius and the Julia Domna one!

    The Domitian As stuck out for me, reason being it that I have yet to see a Domitian example with a radiate head, radiates seem to be more common in later emperors. Am I correct on this?

    chrsmat71 I LIKE TURTLES!

    Nice group man! That Pius/Tiber is sweet, but I'm with everyone else, the Domitian is S W E E T.

    Great coins Gary, I notice your picks are all important types in Ancient Rome's history, congrats on getting Temple Roma & Venus in good condition a very hard coin to find in good quality. I especially like your Domna but I would like any of them in my collection.

    Nice selection, I like the Domitian too, but my choice is the Julia Domna for the Vesta reverse
    I once had the type in my trays, which is now in our own @arizonarobin's collection
