<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 974089, member: 5739&quot;]Well I appreciate everyone&#039;s help, and comments.</p><p>&nbsp;Part of why I like collecting ancient coins, is due to the fact that you can have such variety of the same emperor from the same mint, and have such variation between them in portrait et cetera, due to the number of different dies used. It does mean that there are many more factors to consider when buying an ancient coin, as doug has illustrated for our viewing pleasure.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am waiting for a friend to send me my Julia Mamaea Sestertius (my only Roman coin of any female) I paid less than $30USD, so fairly good price. I have only the photo he took... note the graffiti, on the obverse, looks like &#039;XIII&#039; but could just be modern scribbles, the graffiti looks more recent..... I don&#039;t know. I will post some better shots when I have her in hand.... But I quite like the portrait, pretty nice reverse... and it should go well with my three Severus Alexander AE Sesterces.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have a fairly newly aquired Elagabalus AR Antoninianus, with the Providentia &#039;PM TR P II COS II PP&#039; reverse. But I haven&#039;t taken any photos yet[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
