<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1110933, member: 5739&quot;]Doug is right... my Julia Mamaea &#039;VENVS VICTRIX&#039; Sestertius is just the most worn Roman I have in my collection I think.... either that one, or the Severus Alexander with Providentia on the reverse that I am adding to this post, then again I do not have too many Roman Bronzes... it was quite hard to capture the dark green patina on this one with my camera.... again, it is more low/middle grade than heavily worn. I have seen quite a few like the one doug posted though, with the reverse worn so heavily that it is nearly gone. </p><p>Randy: I see what you mean now about the Hadrian when I look closer. That Vespasian one sure would be cool if it were in better condition, I quite fancy that reverse, I remember seeing it in your FORVM album a while back and thinking how nice it must have looked when first struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>this is the info I got from the seller when I purchased this one, at a very good price I might add <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>----</p><p>Severvs Alexander : C orichalcum Sestertius - Providentia / RARE</p><p>OBV.: IMP CAES M AUR SEV ALEXANDER AUG - Laureate and draped bust right.
