[QUOTE="Dafydd, post: 8112935, member: 86815"]Io Saturnalia! [IMG]https://ahetc.gumlet.io/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Saturnai.jpg?compress=true&quality=80&w=1242&dpr=1.3[/IMG] I really don't know who my Secret Saturnalia posts as but thank you Edwin for my wonderful gifts. The first coin is a Hadrian Didrachm with a bold portrait and at 21mm and 6.09g much more substantial than any of my Hadrian denarii. Reverse :Mt.

[ATTACH=full]1411617[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1411619[/ATTACH] The second coin is a superb Aurelian Billion Antoninianus . Obverse ;radiate, curassed bust right. Reverse ; Sol standing left, holding globe and raising hand, two seating captives flanking. Ex Aethelred collection , ex JAZ Numismatics. RIC Online 2673. I have a "thing" for captive reverses and have several and in fact posted my Vespasian Judea Captive denarius in a CT competition. I have several "Restorer of the World" Antoninianus but not this one and none as well preserved as this one, a truly lovely coin with traces of silvering extant.
