<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Limes, post: 24572050, member: 101013&quot;]Fantastic page [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER], saved it in my bookmarks. Thanks for making an overview of the various battles/victories/wars between Rome - &#039;Persia&#039; and the coins relating to those. And great coins too. </p><p><br /></p><p>A small thing I noticed. At the coin of Julian II you forgot a &#039;/&#039; I think (<i>&lt;palm&gt;NIKB&lt;palm&gt; in exergue, for Nicomedia.</i>)</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a couple of relevant coins, two of them I&#039;ll show here. First is the same one as shown on your site, struck under Trajan. The reverse of this coin is well designed, and Philip Hill argues that the reverse of this coin may have been copied from a sculptural group, or a relief. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1558525[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Second one if struck under Lucius Verus. The design refers to the same victory as the denarii of Verus and Aurelius, which are shown on your site. I won&#039;t show mine here. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1558526[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And even though your site does not go into this time period, I can&#039;t help showing this coin. I just love the design <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> About the reverse, CNG notes: &quot;In 19 BC, Augustus returned to Rome after a three-year absence in Greece and Asia; this reverse type may then relate to the celebration of Rome&#039;s recent military and diplomatic successes, namely Tiberius&#039; activities in Armenia and the recovery of the standards the Parthians had captured from Crassus in 53 BC.&quot;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1558527[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
