So someone in fact does have fetishes towards green patinas?

My Roman green patinas from a span of around 1000 years:



Constantine II, Siscia


Leo III the Isaurian and Constantine V


Constantine VII and Zoe


Isaac II Angelos


Alexious III Angelos and Sankt Constantine (The Great i assume?)

 

Gorgeous. If I owned it, I would never sell it.

 

Details? The colors are spectacular and the obverse is very attractive.
