Just got this Antoninianus of Caracalla a couple of weeks ago with reverse of Luna riding in a biga of bulls...

GENIO POPVLI ROMANI.... 3. reverse with Jupiter holding globe with Victory on it, eagle below ; IOVI TVTATORI AVG(VSTORVM).... 4. reverse of SALVS.... 5. silvered - with CONCORDIA MILITVM reverse , Jupiter holding up Victory, crowning emperor with wreath....

Great coin! Would love to see some Etruscan antiquities! Glad you joined.

My one and only Carinus - like expat's - Aequitas reverse...

Found one Numerian - same as Qcumbor - with Princeps Iuventutis,,,

Absolutely terrific write up about the intriguing history of the Curia. Makes me want to go back and take another look. Here is a selection of some early coins of Octavian... 1. Octavian AR denarius, 32-27 BC, 3.80gm, struck 29-27 BC in uncertain Italian mint (Brundisium? Rome?), 21.3mm. Obv: Bare head right. Rev: Ithyphallic boundary-stone of Jupiter Terminus, surmounted by laureate head of Octavian facing; winged thunderbolt below; IMP CAESAR across fields. RIC 269a; CRI 425; RSC 114. 2. denarius with Curia reverse... 3. denarius with Pax on reverse holding olive branch and cornucopia ... 4. reverse with quadriga on triumphal arch... 5. reverse of Victory on globe... 6. denarius of Octavian with mourning beard in honor of his posthumously adoptive father Julius Caesar...

My only coin of Carus with reverse of Aeternitas and Sol prancing around...

I visited his shop many years ago when I was a student in the early 1980's on the fashionable Via del Corso in Rome. I remember a very elegant place with nice coins that I couldn't really afford as a student but great to see.

Congratulations on two handsome coins! Here in a same design of Titus, but from a Balkan mint...

Beautiful coins. May you have many more!

Caracalla really looks angry and mean on this Antoninianus with Sol on reverse...
