From the collection of Giovanni Maria Staffieri, ex. Italo Vecchi, London, June 1988, from the collection of Giovanni Dattari (1853–1923). This coin shows one of the seven wonders of the ancient world as it was still standing. One of the best specimens of this type in private hands.

I was tempted to connect my Titus elephant, or my Caesar elephant, or my Philip I antoninianus with the Lvdi Saecvlares for the 1000th anniversary of Rome, but I wanted to finally use this coin in this thread 🙂
