How interesting. I would never have thought about the twelve labors of Hercules as a numismatic collection theme. I presume it's feasible, then? I mean, all of the labors got portrayed on a coin at some point? Combat-related labors, sure, but what about the cleaning of the Augean stables and such?

That's a lovely serrate denarius!

This has been a good starting off point for this series

The Labors of Hercules on Coins

There is an entire set that can be made up from "Antoninus Pius Drachm,"

but they don't come up for auction to much and are very expensive.

Great start!
Wholesome looking serrata.
I think that's an awesome collection theme.

I can't take credit for the image, that was the seller Steven Battelle.

The transaction was very smooth, and worthy of a recommendation.
