<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GregH, post: 3099442, member: 75936&quot;]My Roma win was this immaculate solidus of Arcadius. I find the late Roman bronze coinage dreary, so I upgrade to gold where i can. I think this is pretty good for an Arcadius:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]784223[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><i>Arcadius AV Solidus. Constantinople, AD 397-402. D N ARCADIVS P F AVG, helmeted and cuirassed bust three-quarters facing, holding spear over shoulder and shield with horseman motif / CONCORDIA AVGG H, Constantinopolis, helmeted, seated facing, head right, placing right foot on prow and holding Victory on globe and spear; CONOB in exergue. RIC 7; Depeyrot 55/1. 4.47g, 20mm, 6h.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>My new solidus complements the one i already have of his co-emperor Theodosius II<i>:</i></p><p><i>[ATTACH=full]784224[/ATTACH] </i></p><p><br /></p><p>So all i need now is a solidus of the third co-emperor Honorius to complete my set. Fortunately solidi of this era are relatively cheap - unlike those ultra-rare rulers that i have yet to add (Jotapian, Sebastianus, Alexander of Carthage, Nepotian etc).</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess this is an opportunity for everyone to show their solidi.....<i></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
