<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 8082322, member: 97383"]Donna, You scored some great Roman provincials this year <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! My favorite should be no surprise, it's #15, the stunning Trajan Decius Tet <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. My 2nd favorite is the hefty Trajan drachm with the elephant quadriga <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, & my 3rd favorite is the Hadrian drachm with sphinx <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I was lucky to score a nice looking Trajan Decius Tet, also from the 3rd officina, several years ago pictured below. My coin has a completely different reverse with the eagle facing the other way. There are an amazing number of different coin types for Trajan Decius, especially when you consider how short his reign was.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1403606[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Seleucis & Pieria, Antioch. <i>Trajan Decius, </i>AD 249-251 (struck AD 250/1).
