    For this edition of "Never shared... until now" I bring you my one and only coin of Marcus Aurelius, the last of the "Five Good Emperors" of Rome. He was the father of the spoiled and incompetent emperor Commodus. Condition is a little meh but I don't mind this as a cheap hole-filler for now.

    AR Denarius
