Bought these 2 Sabina coins in auction for 60 euro, like the different hair styles. the as of 11,8 gram is sometimes described as AS and sometimes as Dupondius. Please show your Sabina bronze, especially the ones with the funny stephane hair style. Thank you coin amigos.
Hey Bing, I'm dutch, 60 euro for both. prices are in an up trend, paid 20 euro for this one a year ago
Very nice coins, VERY nice price. Well done @Andres2 ... Goofy how humans get caught up in styles, especially goofy ones from "leaders". Humanity becomes sheep... I have no bronze of her, but I do have a Denarius: Roman Empire Sabina 117-137 AR Denarius 3.18g Head of Sabina right "SABINA AVGVSTA" Venus standing right holding an apple and drawing a fold of drapery from her shoulder "VENERI GENETRICI" RSC 73

Great price for those andres! I'd LOVE to get a Sabina coin, she is in a pretty high position on my list. I think it's the funky hair I dig!
WOW!! That's a great price for both....Congrats @Andres2 !!!! Absolutely gorgeous @Roman Collector!!! I only have two denarii---the first a left-facing 'limes'......
Finding different hairdos for empresses is fun : you can hunt them for Sabina, Faustina jr (her early portraits under A. Pius are to die for), and some others. I've put together all the different hairdos I could find for Plautilla when I collected this empress A - Her first portraits show a draped bust right, hair coiled in horizontal ridges and fastened in bun in high position : B - Then her hair is being coiled in vertical ridges, with bun in low position : C - The third bust shows a thinner face of Plautilla with hair in vertical ridges and no bun but braids covering her neck : D - The fourth type has a similar appearance with the former, but the vertical ridges disappear, hair being plastered down, still showing the right ear : E - Plautilla appears with mid long hair plastered down and covering her ears : Q
I picked up an as just like your second one recently too... cost me 120 CHF plus fees though! You got an awesome deal. Mine is 11.3 g but has a brassy orichalcum look. Yours looks much more coppery. These middle bronze denominations are tricky to figure out...
Nice Sabina's , thanks for posting them,coin friends. Like your new stephane , SeverusAlexander, 4 grams heavier then my coin.
