Nice looking patina. That has to be a satisfying big coin in hand!

it is. not hardly as big as the Lucilla sest., but close! i'm not sure of it's weight (i've got to get sum scales)

 

Nice Otacilia

Q

 

..the OP coin is not of Otacilia...correct? rather, it is Herennia Estrucilla.... one should report this discrepancy..for posterity's sake

 

Yeah, you should hunt that guy down and give a stern lecture about posting the wrong coins.
