[QUOTE="SeptimusT, post: 3280387, member: 91240"]So many beautiful coins here, both in artistry and condition. Here's a few of my favorites in no particular order... P. Licinius Nerva, one of my favorite coins in my collection, which recently made [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/septimusts-2018-top-10.328973/']my top 10[/URL] list for 2018. [ATTACH=full]867170[/ATTACH] Another one from the same list, an anonymous denarius from after 212 BC, the first of the standard weight denarii that would dominate the Roman monetary system until the 3rd century AD. [ATTACH=full]867163[/ATTACH] Julius Caesar, because it's Julius Caesar. [ATTACH=full]867169[/ATTACH] Sergius Silus, because decapitation is fun. [ATTACH=full]867164[/ATTACH] A Trajan Arabia denarius which needs a new photo. [ATTACH=full]867172[/ATTACH] And maybe I'm biased since I just got this one in the mail a few days ago, but this Julia Domna Venus-and-butt (supposedly from Emesa, but I haven't gotten to research it yet) is really beautiful, and not just because of the type. I think it has a great style, and is struck with very high quality metal compared to a lot of denarii from the period. [ATTACH=full]867168[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
