Doug you're right. I tried looking for a child Caracalla and could not find a one. Ironically, my coins of Geta are ALL of him as a small child and not one as an adult! Sometimes we tend to forget that Geta was actually 22 at the time of his death and co emperor. Your Securitas sestertius is just mesmerizing.

I won't be able to attend, but if you've never been to a coin show before , you really ought to try to attend. There is nothing like the excitement and energy of a show, especially the ANA and the NY international. I doubt you would be disappointed.

What a beautiful collection! We can't forget cheerful Caracalla...

Tribute Penny in gold, (or would it be a "tribute aureus?")

A collection of young Nero coins, including two aurei struck under Claudius designating Nero as his adopted heir.

I love his videos - my favorite of YouTube.

What a terrific and wonderful find! Very commendable of her as well to return it to Germany. All I ever find are old candy wraps.

Just took your advice and ordered the book on Amazon. I've never been disappointed with Goldsworty's works.

"I found Rome a city of brick, and left it a city of marble" , Caesar Augustus. "Pecunia non olet", Money doesn't smell - Vespasian's retort to his son Titus regarding his urine tax.

Vae, puto deus fio; ( S--t! I think I'm becoming a god!) said Vespasian as he was dying. Oderint, ut metuant. (Let them hate me , as long as they fear me) - Caligula. Veni, Vidi, Vici! ( I came, I saw, I conquered ! ) - C. Julius Caesar.

RR denarius of Maxumius Egnatius with two togate figures in temple.. next , another temple...

As of Agrippa with Neptune on reverse. next , more Agrippa.

several of mine with full dot boarders , at least on one side.

Several Antoniniani of Tacitus with characteristic neck beard. (had to be uncomfortable).

On the sestertii to me it looks like a bunny rabbit. So maybe it is an Easter basket!

August 2nd is the anniversary of the battle of Cannae in 216 BCE. This was one of the worst defeats suffered by any Roman army. After terrible losses to Hannibal at Trebia, and again at Lake Trassimeno, during the second Punic war, Rome was again crushed at Cannae and lost about 60,000 troops. Surrender was never considered. Rome went on to eventually win the war against Carthage , and her nemesis, Hannibal , subsequently committed suicide. Countless thousands of lives were lost on both sides. post any coins you feel appropriate to remember this event... Roman uncia C.218 BCE...

Two Neronian Victory coins... 1st As with Victory reverse; 2nd Dupondius with VICTORIA AVGVSTI reverse...
