<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2318162, member: 19463&quot;]We often warn new people about how many more ancient types there are than they may have ever suspected.&nbsp; Perhaps we should mention that there are probably a hundred&nbsp; Provincial types for the third century rulers for every denarius type.&nbsp; Many of them are boring - what I call somebody standing there coins - but some of them are spectacular.&nbsp; Many of them simply do not exist in high grades and demand for less than spectacular low grade bronzes is not high in the slab-centered market.&nbsp; I am no more a fan on Elagabalus than any other of the rulers in the span of years but that doesn&#039;t mean I don&#039;t like his coins.&nbsp; I like way too many coins.&nbsp; All my Elagabalus coins are just somebody standing there or equally unthrilling.&nbsp; Maybe that is why I am not out there chasing more.</p><p>Marcianopolis</p><p>[ATTACH=full]468062[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]468063[/ATTACH] </p><p>Nicopolis </p><p>[ATTACH=full]468064[/ATTACH] </p><p>Philippopolis</p><p>[ATTACH=full]468065[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Antioch</p><p>[ATTACH=full]468066[/ATTACH] </p><p>Alexandria</p><p>[ATTACH=full]468067[/ATTACH] </p><p>Marcianopolis with Julia Maesa</p><p>[ATTACH=full]468068[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
