Well...
Considering that "My sons" are products of the first marriage of my wife really, I suppose that Iīm more like Saint Joseph that all the other fathers...
...in fact I have take care of them, I have suffered for them, I love them, but sometimes is very, very hard to keep calm.
But is worse for my wife...
She canīt say to me: "Your son has done this..." (because in Spain the sons are "our sons" while they are good boys, when not they are "Your son")

Let us not forget grandfathers, and adoptive fathers, as well as natural fathers.   |

left : very nice Augustus : this is a very frequently found denarius of Lyon in former Gallia , but not often in this quality
right : Hadrianus , I suppose , but a Greek one ?
middle : Traianus : is it a coin , I see no inscription on the obverse , but the SC usualy on bronze coins , it looks me also silvered . albert

AN is correct. Right is Alexandrian Hadrian. Center is Trajan, with a reverse of ALIM ITAL in the exergue. (I picked it for this post because of the child next to Abundantia on the reverse).
