    Happy anniversary @Ancient Aussie
    Architecture isn't my thing, aerospace is so I don't have many ancients with buildings and such definately no aircraft. But I gave this Tiberius that while it's not my fave it is one of. Not for the condition but because oddly enough the Lugdunum Altar.

    But my favorite for the day goes to this Septimus that I won at a recent Agora auction that hopefully is deliverd today along with another purchase. Which I have to add was @Ajax who inspired me to this guy.

    Happy anniversary @Ancient Aussie!! I always enjoy seeing your neat architectural coins.
    This one had been on my want list for a while so it's my favourite at the moment. I just need to get a type from Aspendos now.

    Thanks Doug, I think it is great you have found the Severus Eastern mint coins as a sub collection, with so many die types and varieties, I watch your's and Martins with great interest.

    Thanks zumbly, I would love a coin from Crete especially Knossos, I remember the guide when we visited the ruins there telling us the significance of the Labyrinth to people, I dug up a pic of the ruins at Knossos that are very extensive. 20151018_093447.jpg
