Title: Re: roman sestertius Post by: hedgehog on September 30, 2009, 07:40:06 PM Looks like Antoninus Pius, nice coin , good to see a reasonable portrait.
Title: Re: roman sestertius Post by: The Doc on September 30, 2009, 07:54:50 PM These all look the same to me. I was thinking Marcus Aurelius, but only a guess.
