Scarcer Roman Republic & Aurelian

Here are some goodies I got before this year has ended.

First is a scarcer Roman Republic type. It is pretty rough and crystalized silver, but a cheap addition for me in an area I lack.

Second is a very scarce reverse type for Aurelian I got from @Brian Bucklan. @Sallent got my other so I could get this. Heavily silvered so it is tough to get a pic with a cell phone.

Two nice catches @Mat - Great example of an Aurelian ant.

 

Very cool additions @Mat....and your photos look excellent to me

I guess I'll throw in what appears to be my last purchase of the year. It seemed a better buy at my initial bid but still pretty cool at my final cost---a bit worn but i love the size style and reverse


AE26 Tetrassarion of Septimius Severus 193-211 AD., Marcianopolis, Moesia Inferior - laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen from behind / Cybele (Kybele) seated left on a high-backed throne, patera in right hand, left arm resting on a Tympanon (drum), two lions at her sides (10.81 grams, 26/25 mm) Marcianopolis mint 198-209 AD., Moushmov 381, H&J Marcianopolis 6.14.31.11, Very fine, green patina, scarce.

Reverse legend refers to Consular Legate (Governor) Julius Faustinianus

 

Nice looking bronze!

 

Bump

I actually like replies more than "likes"

 

Here's an Aurelian to share, uncleaned hoard to boot:





CONCORDIA MILITVM on the reverse, I believe, though it's hard to tell. Or I guess it could be a Sol type - ORIENS AVG

 

Great way to end the year, especially with that Aurelian.

 

Sexy ant!

 

I really like the Aurelian... unusual portrait style and I don't think I've ever seen the reverse type before. I could only find 5 on acsearch. Rare and attractive... hard to beat!

 

Both neat coins Mat.

 

I have to agree.

I only have a few of Aurelian and here's my version of 'Restitutor Orbis'....

 

NICE RR Denarius @Mat ! I like that issue, and yours has a great crack in .

Mine is in the same condition as yours. Well circulated and captured into a well-loved collection.
