AETHER Posted November 9, 2023 · Member Share Posted November 9, 2023 Hey gang, was at my LCS today, unloading some things as I narrow my collection, and I picked up two bronzes (and a copper i think) The first coin was labeled as a Tiberius AS, bust/alter. And I thought, I have been looking to add a Tiberius I can afford. YAY. After doing some looking up, I thought it was the altar of lugdunum type from Tiberius. BUT it looks more like the Augustus altar of lugdunum type instead, can anyone confirm? Kind of disappointed because I was looking to add Tiberius and not another Augustus. I also picked up another, which I'm pretty sure is a Titus Dupondius, because of the Radiate head (it looks like) and copper core. It is also a bit larger than an As and heavier. I also did not have a Titus, so I'm thrilled I added him. Thanks in advance. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryro Posted November 9, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) Agree. Looks to be an Augustus. Tiberius would say, TI CAESAR. Still a very cool coin type. Nice Titus as well! Edited November 9, 2023 by Ryro 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar tot his one. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=11301203 And the second one is Titus, as Caesar. Both cool coins! I wish I had a coin shop nearby. It seems like fun, just drive by, talk a bit and take home a coin. Anyway, coincidentally, Im looking for a decent Tiberius from Lugdunum too, to complete my Julio Claudio dynasty smaller rbronzes set. Good luck with your quest! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
