    Had a little free time and ended up with group shot of the Adoptive Emperors and friends.

    We have seen a great set of denarii and a nice set of sestertii. My set is not complete but is made of middle bronzes (as or dupondius).
    Nerva dupondius

    Trajan as
    rc1750b00708lg.jpg
    Hadrian as
    rc1960bb2291.jpg
    Antoninus Pius as
    rc2150bb0051.jpg
    Aelius as
    rc2030bb1093.jpg

    Marcus Aurelius dupondius
    rc2270bb0242.jpg
    Faustina II as
    rc2355bb2979.jpg
    Commodus as
    rc2430b00976lg.JPG

    I lack Trajan's family, Faustina I and Lucius Verus in medium AE. Now it is someone's turn to show us the aurei. Tetradrachms, perhaps? Provincials? Too many sets!

    Thanks for all the kind words. It's a treat to see the different takes on a common theme.

    Severus Alexander find me at NumisForums

    My take, obverses only... and no clean way to organize 11 coins. o_O
