    I got this lady in the mail today and I´m not really sure if I like her.
    Apart from the lowish grade she has patina which is something I don´t like on my bronzes, but as most of you prefere your Sestertii this way, I will post it anyway :).

    So free free to share your Orbianas!

    I like the greenish tone, portrait style, rarer reverse, and everything else about yours :-D
