[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 3722622, member: 98035"]Lots of fun coins in this thread! I do have to say, if I had to pick one emperor to have a dinner with, it would probably be Pius. He just seemed so likeable - a good politician through and through. I've had more Pius coins pass through my hands than I can shake a stick at, but the permanent residents in my collection are some of my favorites: As Caesar under Hadrian, AR Denarius Diana standing right [ATTACH=full]997887[/ATTACH] As Augustus AR Denarius IMPERATOR II, Minted after he was given the honorific upon completion of the Antonine Wall [ATTACH=full]997888[/ATTACH] AE Sestertius, Salus (This is the one that will be my downfall, as it planted the seeds of the Bronze Bug in my bones) [ATTACH=full]997889[/ATTACH] Posthumous AR Denarius, featuring his wedding ca- er, funeral pyre [ATTACH=full]997890[/ATTACH] And can't forget the Missus.... Lifetime AR Denarius [ATTACH=full]997891[/ATTACH] And Posthumous [ATTACH=full]997892[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
