[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3929100, member: 85693"]Nice coins, everybody. I really like Sabina's coins and backstory (being married to Hadrian couldn't've been easy). I am reading Marguerite Yourcenar's [I]Memoirs of Hadrian[/I] at the moment and she hasn't been in it much so far. I only have two coins. Sabina is very hard to find in the bottom-feeding searches I do - once she is spotted, the price tends to go up. The worn as came in an undescribed lot. The denarius is the same as the OP - so I initially thought, but the obverse legend is different. There's a little green on the obverse which might indicate a fourree. [ATTACH=full]1035613[/ATTACH] [B]Sabina Æ As (wife of Hadrian) (128-136 A.D.) Rome Mint[/B] [SABINA AV]GVSTA HAD[RIANI AVG P P] draped bust right; hair falling in plait / IVNONI [REGINAE] S C, Juno std. left with patera & sceptre. RIC II Hadrian 1038a (as) (9.55 grams / 25 mm) [ATTACH=full]1035612[/ATTACH] [B]Sabina Denarius (128-136 A.D.) Rome Mint[/B] SABINA AVGVSTA HADRIANI AVG PP, draped diademed bust right, queue down neck / CONCORDIA AVG Concordia seated left, holding patera and sceptre, cornucopiae under chair. RIC 399a; Cohen 25. (2.92 grams / 17 mm)[/QUOTE]
