I have always liked that series alot, but I have yet to see one I want bad enough to pay the price....yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a couple of mine(both of which happen to have two standards):</p><p><br /></p><p>Caracalla AR Denarius, Rome Mint.</p><p>obv: ANTONINVS PIVS AVG BRIT - Laureate head right.</p><p>rev:&nbsp; PROFECTIO AVG - Caracalla standing right, holding a transverse spear, two standards behind him.</p><p><br /></p><p>and...</p><p><br /></p><p>Elagabalus AR Antoninianus, Rome Mint.</p><p>obv: IMP CAES M AVR ANTONINVS AVG - Radiate bust right, draped and cuirassed.</p><p>rev:&nbsp; FIDES EXERCITVS - Fides seated left, holding eagle and standard, another standard before her.</p><p>4.86gr</p><p>*These photos were taken while the coins were in a coin flip, so the photography isn&#039;t great.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have noticed the style and look of standards varies greatly on different coins. A good example is the &#039;FIDES EXERCITVS&#039; issue of Elagabalus Antoninianii.... there seems to be a great variety in the style of the standards on this particular type, easily noticed if you look at a few different specimens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
