MartiVltori Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 10/05/2022 5:27 pm Here is another upgrade I just made to my Imperial Rome collection. This time Claudius. Like my other post on Tiberius, my previous Claudius was purchased a long time ago and was far from attractive. AE As, A.D. 41-50, Rome, 31mm, 11.2g, ~160°, : RIC I 97. Ex Hanlon collection. Obv: TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG PM TR P IMP. Bare head left. Rev: LIBERTAS AVGVSTA. Libertas standing facing, holding pileus and raising hand; S-C in field. Here is the old one: Report this Post to the Staff

Wonderful portrait but I'm really interested in the reverse..What are the vertical lines between her legs? Some sort of pedestal? Edited by Palouche 10/05/2022 6:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

MartiVltori Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 10/06/2022 12:25 am @paluche I am not certain what that is. I think it is the hem of her cloak. Edited by MartiVltori 10/06/2022 12:27 am Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 10/06/2022 02:51 am Full legends, even fields and minimal wear = a premium coin. Especially for larger Roman bronzes. Report this Post to the Staff
