<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gary R. Wilson, post: 4458654, member: 89935&quot;]This coin of the Temple of Concordia makes me sad and mad at the same time. It&#039;s amazing how most of the Roman temples were destroyed so others could build palaces and churches. The Temple of Concordia is just one example of many. I chose this example because practically nothing remains. Only the platform remains now partially covered by a road up to the Capitol. Very sad.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1111694[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Tiberius (Augustus)</p><p>Coin: Brass Sestertius</p><p>(no legend) - Hexastyle temple with flanking wings; Concordia seated inside, holding patera and cornucopiae; Hercules and Mercury stand on podia; Jupiter, Juno, Minerva, Victories and other figures above pediment.</p><p>TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVST P M TR POT XXXIIX - Legend surrounding large S C</p><p>Exergue:&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Mint: Rome (36-37 AD)</p><p>Wt./Size/Axis: 27.11g / 35.5mm / 6</p><p>Rarity:&nbsp; &nbsp; Scarce</p><p>References:&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>RIC I 67</p><p>BMCRE 133</p><p>Cohen 70 corr.
