[QUOTE="Heliodromus, post: 7886754, member: 120820"]Not my wheelhouse, and crappy photo to boot, but here's my only sestertius. It's the earliest use of the radiate nimbus I could afford at the time. Vespasian used it too, but not on anything cheap! These sestertii seem impractically heavy, but in 1797 AD we have George III's "cartwheel" twopence at double the weight (2oz), and his penny about the same as the sestertius (1oz), since those coins were meant to contain their face value in copper.
