<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 4028707, member: 97383&quot;]Salaethus, I like your theme &quot;The Severan boys&quot; &amp; your three sestertii <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, especially the Caracalla <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, that one is a museum piece. I like high grade coins &amp; have never been able to afford high grade sestertii <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, so I&#039;ve settled for nice looking provincial silver. Below are a few of my favorites <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1058915[/ATTACH] </p><p>Syria, Laodicea ad Mare, Septimius Severus, AR tetradrachm, 14.42 gm, 28 mm., struck AD 208/9, Prieur 1151.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1058921[/ATTACH] </p><p>Syria, Antioch, Caracalla, AR tetradrachm, 14.32 gm, 27 mm, struck AD 205/7.

This is a youthful Caracalla before he became completely deranged <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The eagle is exceptionally well done <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1058930[/ATTACH] </p><p>Mesopotamia, Carrhae, Caracalla, Billon tetradrachm, 14.72 gm, 27 mm, struck AD 215/7, Prieur 820.
