I want to share a related pair of purchases I've made from
FORVM. As a few of you might know I collect
Marc Antony legionary denarii (among others), and while there are many of the
standard issues from that series that I
still need to collect, in the past month Joe has provided me with the chance to add two tangental
members of that series: The
Marcus Aurelius and
Lucius Verus restoration issue and an IMPVES
countermarked example of Antony's
legionary coinage believed to have been marked during the reign of
Vespasian. Both of these pieces speak to the enduring legacy of this coin series to the
Romans themselves in the centuries following their original issue.
Thanks Joe and
FORVM!
