<p>[QUOTE="jamesicus, post: 4809276, member: 14873"]This is an impossible task for me - I dearly love all my (mostly Julio-Claudian) Sestertii and I really am at a loss how to apply a ranking or ascribe monetary worth to any of them. So I will post a few in a series of posts. Here are a couple to start with:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/b0718323-557e-4bba-9309-677514ad7e25-jpeg.1144053/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Sestertius, RIC Vol. I, Rome, No. 112, 50-54AD (36mm, 28.2gm)</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse depiction: Claudius, bare neck laureate bust, facing right</p><p><br /></p><p>Inscription: TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG PM TRP IMP PP</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse depiction: Civic Oak Wreath</p><p><br /></p><p>Inscription in four lines:</p><p><br /></p><p>EX SC</p><p>P P</p><p>OB CIVES</p><p>SERVATOS</p><p><br /></p><p>(within Civic wreath)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/6ec53a6f-50e6-4b84-b12f-0c44313ac65c-jpeg.1144054/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><i>RIC Vol. I, CLAUDIUS, SESTERTIUS, Rome, No. 99 41-50 AD,</i> (36mm, 25.3gm)</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse depiction: Claudius, bare neck laureate bust, facing right</p><p><br /></p><p>Inscription clockwise from bottom: TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG PM TRP IMP</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse depiction: Personification of Spes holding flower in right hand and demurely raising skirt with left hand</p><p><br /></p><p>Inscription clockwise from bottom: SPES AVGVSTA - S C (exergue)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
