#17:  Crispus, Arles 322 - 323 A.D. Obv: D N FL IVL CRISPVS NOB CAES, laureate head right Rev: CAESARVM NOSTRORVM, Laurel wreath enclosing VOT X in two lines T(star)AR in exergue. The picture is not very good on this one. The strike is very crisp (not pun intended) and the details are very clear in hand.

#18:  Theodosius, Nicomedia 392 - 395 A.D. Obv: D N THEODO-SIVS P F AVG, pearl-diademed, draped, curiassed bust right Rev: GLORIA ROMANORVM, Theodosius standing front, head right, holding standard and globe SMNA in exergue. I like this coin! There is no patina, but this does not really effect the appearance of this coin. It's kind of lucky I guess. The details are still quite clear.

#20:  Agrippa, Rome 37 - 41 A.D. *Struck under Caligula Obv: M AGRIPPA L F COS III, head left wearing rostral crown Rev: S-C, Neptune standing facing, head left, naked except for cloak drapped behind him and over both arms, holding small dolphin in right hand and a vertical trident in left I have another exactly like this except it has a thick green patina. I got it for a fraction of what these normally go for so that was good. Agrippa looks like a scary dude on this coin!

Yes, Agrippa does look a bit like a thriller-villain on coin #20

#21:  Trajan, Rome 106 A.D. Obv: IMP TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P, Laureate head right, draped left shoulder Rev: COS V P P SPQR OPTIMO PRINC, Victory standing left on shields below, half draped and holding wreath and palm I like this coin. It shows signs of circulation, but it still posessed some nice details. I love coins with the SPQR inscription.

Nice! => we're now into your top-5 coins!! woooo-doggie, dems some nice coins!! Ummm, but I'll take no news as bad news at Camp Horseshow? => yah, some people just gotta try mixing archery and water ski-jumping ... sure at first glance, it seems like such a no-brainer (what could go wrong?) ... but sadly, after the first few injuries, it all of a sudden seems like such a poor idea, ya know? ... ACG => I can hardly wait for your next "Final-Four" ... awesome job, so far!!  |
