[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2724453, member: 10461"]I browsed Wildwinds and found the posthumous denarii honoring him (eagles, altars) somewhat more interesting than the typical lifetime fare with personification reverses. I do like the ARMENIA issues, though. [IMG]http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/marcus_aurelius/RIC_0081.4.jpg[/IMG] And this one with Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus shaking hands. [IMG]http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/marcus_aurelius/RIC_0008.jpg[/IMG] I like the PIETAS reverse with sacrificial implements in this case, because they visually stand out as different from all the "standing figure" personification designs. I see this is "as Caesar". Dunno if that makes a difference or not. [IMG]http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/marcus_aurelius/RIC_0424a[pius].jpg[/IMG] Mind you, I have no idea of the relative scarcity or availability of these types. I was just browsing the Wildwinds page. Probably would've done just as well or better to browse VCoins or CNG.[/QUOTE]
