[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4871503, member: 85693"]This seemed like an appropriate thread to toss out this lot of 13 AEs I got this week. Four of them are Roman Imperial, but the rest are Provincials from Thrace and Moesia. These are obviously over-cleaned, with other miscellaneous problems, but at $5 a piece I was okay with problems - the attribution efforts kept me busy for days and that's cheap entertainment. A lot of firsts for me. That one in the third row far left is a Julia Domna "Three Graces" a type I've always admired - but an upgrade is definitely in order. The Caracalla with shield and spear from Hadrianopolis might be my favorite - he looks very ferocious. I do wish the Trajan sestertii were in better shape - the far left one is a scarce Trajan-holding-a-thunderbolt-crowned-by-Victory type - I didn't think I'd be able to attribute it, but there was just enough there for a guess. The one next to it is Arabia with her camel. Both are worst of the lot. The Antoninus Pius As is a common Annona type, but a scarceish bare-headed variety. It has been cleaned to its original copper color. Speaking of copper - the top two are from Viminacium. The Trebonianus Gallus "sestertius" looks copper, while the Gordian III "dupondius" is very brassy. All the other provincials are brassy as well. [ATTACH=full]1176402[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
