My two new Ancient Roman denarii :)

MKUltra24

I picked these up last week at auction since I felt the price was fair and I’m trying to collect 1 denarius from each of the “Twelve Emperors” written about by Suetonius.

The first is a denarius of Trajan (XF) and the second is Antoninus Pius (Ch XF).

Apologies for using the auction photos but I know a lot of people don’t like seeing the slabs and my phone camera doesn’t work very well for coin pics.

P.S. Here are some self taken pics.

Not of the 12 Caesars, but 2 of the 5 "Good Emperors." Of those 5, you still will need Nerva, Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius. Nerva may be the most difficult, but not too much.

I’ve already got Hadrian. ^_^

His was was my very first denarius.

I love the toning on the reverse.

I also have Commodus & Septimius Serverus on the way!

I like the Severus denarius. Minted in his wife's hometown of Emesa!

Yeah same here.

Although I’m not a big fan of the horn silver on the reverse .

Fortunately it also turned other buyers off and I got it for a decent price.
