Hey @Orfew , I did snare a cool LEPIDUS (kinda by accident), when he was out in Spain with Pompey (Pompey was getting beat up by the Celtiberians a little...he was just learning then...)

LOL, I got it because it is HOLED, and I did not HAVE one at the time.

@Alegandron

That is a very interesting Lepidus. I would like one of the denarii with him and Marcus Antonius.

 

been looking for one of those also!

 

I see we have moved the discussion from Edward IV to Shakespeare's plays, but I don't mind because it gives me an opportunity to show my quinarius from the military mint traveling with Mark Antony and Lepidus in Transalpine Gaul.
