[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7945669, member: 80952"]Excellent coins. Congratulations. I particularly like the C. Allius Bala denarius although I hate insects. But not on coins. Interesting design! Here is my only Helena coin. On the last auction I joined I wanted to add some LRBs from rulers that were missing from my collection. I picked the first one in the list and bought it, I would have preferred a coin with a different hairstyle but judging after the trend in auctions, I chose to pick this one and make sure I win it if the price remains decent. Usually I say "nah, I'll get the next one as it is better" and end up losing all. This one has some silvering remaining on the reverse. [ATTACH=full]1375954[/ATTACH] Helena. Augusta AD 324-330. Antioch Follis Æ 19 mm, 3,71 g From the Tareq Hani collection RIC VII Antioch 82 Date Range: AD 327 - AD 329 Obv: FL HELENA – AVGVSTA, bust of Helena, wearing necklace and mantle, right / Rev: SECVRITAS – REIPVBLICE, Securitas, draped, standing left, raising robe with right hand and lowering branch with left hand.
