[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 3739488, member: 39084"]Even my small collection (fewer than 60 coins) includes nine coins minted in Lugdunum, and it would be excessive to post them all here, especially since they've been posted before in other threads. Except for one. In the recent Roma auction I finally acquired the last remaining 12 Caesars coin that I've been seeking for over eight years now. To complete my "mint set" of Tiberius, I needed a portrait Tiberius sestertius. The only ones available are those with the Altar of Lugdunum on the reverse, and these are rarely available in good condition that shows both the obverse portrait as well as the Altar of Lugdunum on the reverse. But finally one showed up at the Roma auction, and despite some flaws, it's one of the better ones I've seen in years. [ATTACH=full]1002936[/ATTACH] TIBERIUS AE Sestertius (26.216 g.)

Here's my completed "mint set" of Tiberius: [ATTACH=full]1002937[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
