I have a couple of Commodus.
Hysterically insane guy. Used to amuse the crowd by killing the sick and disabled.
Slaughtered elephants and other large, exotic animals.
I like this coin!

If you won the auction for 45, wasn't there an underbid of 44? If so, the seller really was kind to come down to 32.

Thanks all! You are right augustus, really kind of him. Because the last bidder made the bid after me, the sales price would be 32 as well if I made the bid as intended of 31. Anyways, I'm happy with this one. I shall post new pictures when it arrives.

Looks much nicer in your pics than the dealers. Nice chocolate color. For the money it can't be beat.
I like all ancient coins but if given the choice between two average antoniniani and one 'fat' sestertius with a bold portrait .......
The choice for me is fairly easy.
I in no way mean to denigrate anyone's personal preferences regarding purchases ! But for 'bang' for the buck .......
Happiness is a nice sestertius !

Indeed, I was positively surprised compared to the dealers pictures.
I like both, but my love for sestertii is growing last weeks ;-)
