Dionysos Maximian abdication GOLD (but, as host, I think this is worth over $200. Dionysos, do you agree?)
steve6x Philip wolf and twins 1000th anniversary of Rome SILVER
Dooucet CONSTANTINOPOLI /Victory for the founding of Constantinople BRONZE
There are many other good historical entries, including Douct's AFRICA of Hadrian, jwharper's Carthage of Septimius Severus, and maridvnvm's gorgeous #2 Probus ADVENTVS.

I also will be going on how appealing the history behind each coin is: Gold: stevex6's Pontos, Amisos AE30 - A myth, but one of my favorites from the Greek world  Silver: Masis's Valerian Antoninianus - What a dirty move to pull on the Romans... Bronze: Doucet's Hadrian denarius - A fascinating journey he took! |

GOLD - ValiantKnights Constans crosses to Britain - hey! I live there.
SILVER - JWharper's Cybele (+massive head) riding a lion. Interesting history and an odd coin.
BRONZE - Marid's Probus returning victorius - good piece, very ornate.
Honourable mentions: So many nice coins, all with great history, but I wouldhave loved to see that EID MAR....
Also, Marid, is probus doing a duckface?

Get your votes in. Right now the leader, because of my wacky bonus system, is a coin that got no votes! Voting closes at 11 pm Eastern time.
