<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 4955445, member: 86498&quot;]I would follow Roman Collectors thoughts about sestertii. I think overall they are more scarce and more difficult to acquire in high grade. Furthermore because of the larger canvass that these coins provide there is greater scope for the Roman die cutters to display their skills both on the obverse but as well as on the reverse. One can see some rather interesting vignettes of Roman political&nbsp; life in action such as this one. Sestertius of Hadrian 119-120 AD Obv. Bust of Hadrian right laureate. Rv. Lictor standing left before three citizens torching a heap of documents to the obvious delight of his audience. RIC 592a (old) RIC 264&nbsp; 25.61 grms 32 mm Photo by W.
