<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1133586, member: 5739&quot;]<b>My personal collection of the &#039;5 good emperors&#039;</b></p><p><br /></p><p>AWESOME <b>Cucumbor</b> Beautiful coins, I love the DIVI series done under Decius. And you have some of the nicest I have seen.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Ripley</b>: cool Trajan coin, I like the ones that say &#039;TRAIANO OPTIMO&#039; on the obverse titles, but I think your obv titles read as follows:</p><p>IMP CAES NERVAE TRAIANO AUG GER DAC... and then I cannot read anymore from there, it seems worn off. Very nice bust of such an iconic emperor.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I do not have a Nerva or Marcus Aurelius yet, but I do have the other three.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here, this first pic is of three of my Hadrian coins, the one on top is an Alexandria Mint Tetradrachm from AD 126/127, the two below are Rome mint Denarii. I really like the large tetradrachm.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bust of the Hadrian Denarius on the left is my favorite bust style of Hadrian of all time I think(for Hadrian that is), very cool style bust. Seen from the front, not that I don&#039;t find the other one beautiful which I do.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second and third pics are of the obv and rev of the two Hadrian Denarii that are under the Alexandria Tet in the above pic.</p><p>Also, on the second denarii, the one with Roma seated on the reverse note the detail on Roma on the reverse, her body, her stomach, the cuirass and shield she is seated upon, and also her face and helmet, quite a large nose but, alot of good detail, same with Victory in her hand.... I really like that coin.... I </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The last two photos are my only two coisn of Antoninus Pius, I have a great Faustina Sr. with the Peacock standing on a sceptre on the reverse....but I guess she doesn&#039;t quite count in this one..... The last photo has the ITALIA reverse, with ITALIA seated on the globe holding a sceptre and cornucopia. The one above is of AEQUITAS. I couldn&#039;t decide whether to post two different angles of the ITALIA denarius since it is such a special type, or just post the one and add the AEQUITAS, I chose the latter.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess I didn&#039;t quite have time to put up my Trajan coin, I can add it if anyone wants to see. it is the AET AUG one with AETERNITAS holding the head of Sol(the sun) in one hand, and the head of Luna(the moon) in the other, quite a cool design also used by Hadrian.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
