    Sorry about the bad photos. I'm wondering about the history of this piece and the ruler depicted.

    Told you it wasn't Diocletian!

    Edit: the photograph is okay, but could be improved (it is similar to the coin in hand, but not right yet)

    That's a pretty Alexandria Tet. LA = Year 1 = 282/283 AD. It's not a particularly rare coin, but it is well struck and has a nice patina.

    Cazkaboom One for all, all for me.

    I can read the legends on the coin, I can see stuff that needs to be seen. Photos are good enough.

    The coin is nice, I kinda like it.
