My second Elagabal Sestertius. Not the best one, but look at Sol and also at Elagabal's mustache. :laugh:

You certainly did pick-up a magnificent portrait on that Sestertius.  It really shows his age and the expression is poignant!

Best, Noah

For the Sestertii of the third thentury this Trebonianus Sestertius has a superb condition at its reverse.
Virtus is beautiful, isn't she?
