<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 2624210, member: 83845&quot;]There was recently a thread inviting everyone to post their favorite Denarius.&nbsp; That post got a lot of great entries so I thought it might be fun for everyone to post their favorite Sestertius. If you can&#039;t pick just one feel free to give your top 5.</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently bought my very first Sestertius so I will post it up as my current favorite <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I&#039;ve been experimenting with some photography effects to try and make some of my coin images pop. Feel free to give me your thoughts.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]576176[/ATTACH]</p><p>Obverse: HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, laureate and draped bust right </p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse: PIETAS AVG, Pietas standing left, praying with hands upraised at altar to left; stork to right, S-C across fields</p><p><br /></p><p>RIC II 771. </p><p>Weight: 22.77g</p><p>Diameter: 31mm</p><p><br /></p><p>And because I love Hadrian, history and architecture here are a couple of photos from Hadrians villa to show what he spent all these amazing coins on.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]576182[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]576184[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]576188[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]576189[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]576194[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
