[QUOTE="Shea19, post: 7955164, member: 90981"]Great coins everyone, thanks for sharing! [USER=87200]@ancient coin hunter[/USER] , I really like that Caracalla from Side, and I was actually the underbidder on that Pisidia bronze at the Leu auction (happy to see that end up in a good home :) ) [USER=97383]@Al Kowsky[/USER] , wonderful coins as usual. Both of those Gordies are great, and I especially like that Valerian/Gallienus reverse from Anazarbus. [USER=79017]@Andres2[/USER] , that's a very nice Romulus/Remus reverse. If you just sell off your Pacatian, you should be able to buy plenty of these. :) Very interesting to see those two share the same reverse die. Considering the amount of "turnover" at the time with a new emperor every couple of years, I guess it's not surprising that the same reverse die might be used across multiple rulers, but still very cool to see those. I agree that those two coins should definitely stay together. Thanks, what a great reverse type with that bridge! You certainly are able to find some great examples for your collecting theme, always enjoy those. Wow, that is some reverse! I always enjoy seeing some of the lesser-known mythological types, what a great coin. Great coin and thanks for sharing some additional info about the region at the time. I admittedly don't know nearly enough about the region (other than that I love their big bronzes), so it's nice to learn some more background info about the history there at the time.[/QUOTE]
