Here are the new pics, taken by me(who it seems has finally gotten the lighting setup in working order), of an Antoninus Pius and Hadrian Denarius.</p><p><br /></p><p>-------</p><p>Imperial Rome </p><p>Antoninus Pius ( 138-161 AD.) </p><p>Silver Denarius.

I was quite pleasantly surprised when I got these two in the mail, since they both looked so much nicer than in the seller pics, and it is usually the opposite, where the seller pics make the coin look nicer than it is, so that was nice.</p><p>Also, I asked this in a different thread, but doesnt anyone know what the &#039;PR&#039; in exergue in the &#039;FEL PR&#039; that is in exergue on the reverse of the Hadrian denarius stands for..... ? Felicitas Publica R...... I don&#039;t know.... just guessing here.... anyone?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
