Post your Architecture in Rome coins.

You have some fantastic architectural coins Eduard I especially like those two Trajan coins, and your Pius Roma/Venus temple has a lot better detail than mine.

Than you very much, Ancient Aussie.
I had an opportunity a few years ago to see some of these monuments in real life and up close. Romae Aeternae they say. You certainly get that feeling.
Unforgettable.

I know exactly what you mean I had that feeling when I visited as well.

 

Here are temples of Nero's daughter Claudia and wife Poppea on a Judea coin, 63/65 AD.

 

Very nice.

What should I have paid for this one. My first ancient.

 

Nice Gordian 111, especially like the strong detail on the reverse, by the way your clock's wrong mine says Nov 26, 2016 at 11:49 AM

 

I donno, but using the half dozen or so that I own as examples, probably no more than $35. The one below I paid $28 shipped. Of course, none were sold in slabs which seem to have an added cost associated with it.

GORDIAN III
AR Antoninianus
OBVERSE: IMP CAES M ANT GORDIANVS AVG, radiate, draped bust right
REVERSE: P M TR P II COS P P, Victory advancing left with wreath & palm

RIC 19, RSC 199

 

Nice one! I'm very fond of this type but I've only got a fourree. Please excuse the crappy photos, just going with my cell here.

 

I like the type as well. That's not a bad coin being it's a fouree.

 

Mike ... here are some Gordian-III examples to compare your coin against

Steve my man that's an antoninianus

Ooops, thanks Ajax ... looks like I fell for the ol' denarius vs antoninianus trick (oldest trick in the coin-book, eh?)

 

I would've guessed by a quick glance at the photo about $50-$75.00 shipped...and this selection of denarii along with the same type seem to hit about that value. Then it's the 'little things' that some of us will pay a 'premium' for.
