No prob, but now I'll start us off with the 3rd Century. Here is an Antoninianus of Gallienus minted between 260 and 268 AD. It was minted in Rome and I believe it is a RIC #280 and a Vagi 2323.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

That's a really nice Caracalla! My Roman collection is severely lacking in the Severan department; I am hoping to eventually fill out a collection of that colorful family in silver, except for the many wives of Elagabalus!

Nice Gordian III! He produced some very nice silver coins for the period.
