Postumus - antoninianusIMP. C. POSTVMVS P.F. AVG
PIETAS AVG , Pietas standing left holding two children, two more at her feet.
I love Postumus' portrait on this one, he looks like Santa Claus. Maybe it's because of the children on the reverse. The reverse die style is typically gallic.

Gordian III - sestertiusNice Gordian III sestertius, reverse : Providentia Aug. 28-32 mm, 20.54 g. RIC IV Gordian III 257
It was minted in 238, and is probably the very first bronze issue as Augustus for this young emperor of only 13. I like this coin because of the portrait : Gordian tries to look serious, without the stupid smile he has on later issues.Ginolerhino07/26/06 at 13:41Potator II: Very good portrait
