    Not sure about this one either but I’m pretty sure the reverse has two soldiers with spears and a standard between them.

    I am constantly amazed at his wealth of knowledge, and his willingness to share it. I have a coin that must have traveled around the world at least a dozen times from the condition it was in. I finally posted it, and @Victor_Clark identified it and told me some very interesting facts about it. When I see that he has posted or commented on a post, I can't wait to see what I'm about to learn! But, this is true for just about every member on CT. You, @philologus_1 are one, and I'm not even going to try to start naming all of you that I've learned something from. One, because I'm old and forgetful and I would miss someone and I'd feel bad. Two, because I'm old and forgetful and.... Three because I'd run out of room, and four because I'm old and, well I don't remember #4, I guess, lol. But, I love CT and all of y'all!!!
