Limes Posted October 1, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2022 Nice coins! That DJ sestertius has a mighty fine portrait! Are you planning on getting a Pescennius Niger as well? I'm still looking for a good and affordable Didius Julianus denarius. But in these complex times with high auction prices, I prefer to wait. To share a 'trophy'; this denarius of Tiberius was my first 'big' spendure on ancients, beaten by Otho two years later. I had told myself at that time, I would never spend that much, and after having bought the Tiberius one, tried to never spend that much again. I failed. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerosmyfavorite68 Posted October 1, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 1, 2022 Neat! You're a bit ahead of me. I have a Didius in the same shape but I don't have any Pertinax coins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryro Posted October 1, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2022 Great grouping! I wanted Commodus as Herakles for some time and first got one in bronze and then later got the silver: Pertinax is one of my favorite what ifs: I sold my Didius Julianus a while back due to caring so little, but ultimately to tell the story I bought this at the same time as my Commodus: Pescennius sure was a trophy for me. Who knows how this fight would've gone down had Septy not played Clodius Albinus like a fiddle? *purchased from @Bing And a reasonable nice conditioned ithyphallic was pretty high on my list as well. Septimius sure have Pescennius and Clodius the big one: 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor LONGINUS Posted October 4, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Thanks for an interesting post, @ominus1 and for a great topic for discussion! In early 2020 I reminisced and regretted my decision to sell off most of my Roman coins in the previous months. Eventually I made the decision to replace what I had sold with coins of finer quality. Here are three of my favorites that surpass those that I had parted with. Clockwise from top left are: Tiberius (Tribute Penny), Augustus denarius, and Vespasian (Judaea Capta) denarius.
