    Can really see the bronziness on those, @Julius Germanicus. Why is the patina stripped?

    I used to have a sest., but no more. :(

    Except for squirrel gravy and buckwheat cakes, there's nothing more yummy than pig. I wonder if a hippo tastes like pig.

    I bought them all like that because I prefer the natural color on my Sestertii (reddish copper during the time of this dynasty as compared to yellowish brass in the first two centuries).
