<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 6397949, member: 44106&quot;]As you can tell from my avatar, I&#039;m a big fan of Hadrian and have collected several of his travel series denarii. Antoninus Pius also had a couple of denarii with Italia on the reverse... one with &quot;Italia&quot; as the legend and the other with &quot;Italia&quot; in exergue. Both images show Italia seated facing left.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also like the &quot;double-header&quot; denarius of Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius like the one posted by [USER=15481]@svessien[/USER]. There are variations with a (smaller) younger and a (larger) more mature youthful bust of Marcus Aurelius. Both heads typically face right, but the coin I acquired has Marcus&#039;s head facing left. Not sure how scarce that variant is compared to the right-facing variety.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
