<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Limes, post: 5491325, member: 101013&quot;]Well, I perhaps should not share this list with you, to avoid triggering your interest ;-) </p><p>But ... If you must ask, I hope this helps: there are many interesting coins of Antoninus Pius! (Yes, it depends what you find interesting). For example: coins celebrating the adoption of MA; sestertii showing the provinces; the death and deification of Faustina (sad, but interesting); victories in Britain; and the most interesting set: coins celebrating the 900th anniversary of Rome. These coins are great, and display some of the myths that surround (the beginning of) the eternal city. Some coins of this series have been shown in this thread, such as the coin of [USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER] and [USER=87809]@cmezner[/USER] and [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER]. </p><p>And then there are tempel coins! [USER=86498]@Terence Cheesman[/USER] has shown his, which is a beauty! But there&#039;s also the one I will add, below. </p><p>And to conclude, the consecration issues! </p><p>So, it&#039;s not just gods standing around (although a series of gods according to Clive Foss als refer to the 900th anniversary celebration, you could collect those), but it&#039;s a varied list of coins struck during the long reign of AP and which reverses tell a lot about events during his reign. So the real question now is: where to begin! </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1239524[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This reverse refers to a revolt in Britain, for the suppression of which AP was hailed Imperator for a second time (143-144 AD):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1239531[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
