[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 2960034, member: 80783"]Here is my second catch from the new cgb.fr fixed price catalogue: This Sestertius does not only fit my love for unpatinated yellow brass, but it also features a rare left-facing portrait plus an interesting reverse (that is, however, very worn). Also this particular variant (portrait left without drapery, galley sailing to the right) is of great rarity. It seems to be unlisted in all the major references and I found no other specimen on AC search or Wildwinds. [ATTACH=full]724340[/ATTACH] HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS - Laureate bust of Hadrian left (FELICITATI AVG S C) COS III P P - Galley moving right over waves with six rowers, steersman at the rear, and mast with sail at the bow Sestertius, Rome 132-134 30,5 mm - 23,85 gr RIC -, Cohen -, BMCR -, Sear - [ATTACH=full]724341[/ATTACH] Please let me know if there are any references to this type or other specimens that you know of. Also show your galleys if you have them![/QUOTE]
