[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 8082922, member: 80783"]I had the chance to upgrade my old Volusian Sestertius with this specimen that, while it does not show my preferred brass tone, nevertheless features what in my humble opinion is a portrait in the finest style of this troubled period (there are in fact cast copies of this very coin on the market). [ATTACH=full]1403909[/ATTACH] IMP CAE C VIB VOLVSIANO AVG – Laureate bust right, seen from behind, wearing paludamentum / IVNONI MARTIALI S C- Temple of Juno: circular tetrastyle temple with Corinthian columns and ribbed dome, floral pattern at apex, large ornament below dome; within, statue of Juno, holding two grain ears in extended right hand, seated facing on winged throne; to lower left, peacock standing left; between columns, urns atop low pedestals AE Sestertius, Rome AD 252 29mm / 20.92 g / 6 h RIC IV 252a, Cohen 41, Sear 9788, BM R.4077 (same reverse die), Banti 12 (15 specimens) [ATTACH=full]1403910[/ATTACH] The reverse has some cleaning scratches but nevertheless is the most desirable and interesting type available for this ruler and also the final example of the many architectural types featured on roman Sestertii. The version showing the temple with four columns is much rarer (just two specimens in the Guelma hoard) than the type with just two colums visible and without peacock (Cohen 46, 17 specimens at Guelma). Please show your coins of Volusian and anything related![/QUOTE]
