Victory coins and medallions

Greetings @jamesicus,

There is a lot written about what exactly this victory could be. The two best threads I remember are:
https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-most-peculiar-naval-victory.343940/
and

Really great information @Broucheion - thank you for posting those links.

 

If any CT poster here would like to copy (and manipulate) the above pics (plus any of the accompanying text) in that quote and use them, consider this my permission to do so. Please just give me the original photo credit.

 

Commodus never visited Britain, but claimed Victory:


RIC II, COMMODUS, Sestertius, No. 452
Obverse: Commodus, Laureate head facing right
Inscription clockwise from bottom: M COMMODVS ANTON AVG PIVS BRIT
Reverse: Victory (Britannia?) seated right, writing on shield
Inscription: S C (left and right) VICT BRIT (exergue)

 

How about two victories sharing a "pint?" (rough barbarous imitation)

 

I love it! That's even more efficient than "declare victory and go home."

 

Super thread full of interesting info...Thanks!...I have a humble Marius...

MARIUS. Romano-Gallic Emperor, 269 AD.
Obverse..IMP CM AVR MARIVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right.
Reverse..VICTORIA AVG, Victory standing left, holding wreath and palm.
RIC#17...Mint Trier?

 

I have not seen a Marius Victory coin before @Spaniard - thank you for posting it.

 

Oh man! I LOVE Victory!!

I don't have any that really celebrate Victory over someone/some place besides this Titus Judea Capta:

(the picture is awful and I need to take a better one)

I absolutely love @jamesicus Severan Britania Victories.

 

Hi All,

Does this count as a victory coin? I'm not ashamed to say I don't know the history behind this Armenian victory.

If Lucius says it does, that is good enough for me! Thanks for posting it @Broucheion.

 

Thank you FF - your picture is just fine!

By golly @hotwheelsearl it does look like it! I hope it was John Smith’s Magnet Ale - or Theakston’s! Thanks for posting.

 

My goodness Justin that is a great group of Victory coins - thank you for posting them. I detect Augustus, Nero, Septimius Severus, Antoninus Pius at least - my eyesight is not good these days so please tell me who I missed.

 

Thanks for posting that @Roman Collector - another great depiction of Victory!

 

Nathan, I gotta tell ya, I always thought those were just dreams, & I always woke up exhausted! But obviously I had a prior life...

Btw, the likeness is incredibly accurate...that really is nice artwork...I guess I was a stickler for accuracy back then!

 

Thank you and no problem! Trajan, Marcus Aurelius, Maximinus, and Trajan Decius.
