    Great coin and if I may say so, very familiar thread title. Wonder where the idea came from? ;)

    My one and only Faustina

    "never say never" concerning the whole Faustina family and then I found this one usually unaffordable:
    Lucius Verus AE Sestertius
    Rome Mint 163-164 AD
    Obverse: L AVREL VERVS AVG ARMENIACVS Bust of Lucius Verus, bare-headed, cuirassed, right
    Reverse: TR P IIII IMP II COS II S C REX ARMEN DAT: Lucius Verus, in military dress, seated left on curule chair, set on low platform; behind him on platform, two soldiers; before him on platform, officer standing right, holding rod; on ground before platform, King Sohaemus, raising right hand to his head
    References: RIC 1372

    Believe it or not, that Vesta with simpulum and Palladium is one reverse type I do not yet own.
