Gothicus with Earmuffs

I traded another member for this Claudius II. It's in fine condition; however, the portrait looks like Claudius must be cold. He's wearing earmuffs.

Claudius II Gothicus Antoninianus
OBV: IMP C CLAVDIVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right
REV: VIRTVS AVG, Minerva standing right resting on shield and holding spear, S in exergue.
Struck at Antioch, 268 AD
3.1g, 20mm
RIC V-1, 225

Great looking coin. Those aren't earmuffs, they're radiate headphones. He's listening to some headbanging goth.

 

I like it. Nice addition Bing

 

For the Claudius II Gothicus coins, I think I like the Antioch mint the best so far. Nice coin.

 

Nice coin, Bing ... cool trade

Ummm hey, don't quote me, but I'm fairly sure that Claudius II Gothicus ended-up marrying this beautiful princess?
