<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2435030, member: 31620&quot;]My first ancient which was bought for entirely egocentric reasons. When your name is Martin and your are named after the Roman god of war what choice is there but to buy a Mars coin. I was collecting Anglo Saxon pennies at the time and had never looked at ancients. I saw this on a printed list (back in the day when all we had to go on was a printed list without photos) and it was affordable. I have collected ancients ever since.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still have it and it is still one of my favourites.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Severus Alexander denarius </b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Obv:– IMP ALEXANDER PIVS AVG, Laureate head right</p><p>Rev:– MARS VLTOR, Mars advancing right, holding a spear and shield</p><p>Minted in Rome, A.D. 232</p><p>References:– RIC 246, RSC 161a</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI%20077a%20img~2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
