I like this one @Ancient Aussie. Nice catch!

 

i like you architectural coins

 

Great reverse!

 

Thanks guys, I couldn't resist as it makes a good upgrade from my other one....

although this more worn example seems to have good detail of the statues in the windows above the arches.

 

hehe...only you would have 2 of these ..nice one!...

 

Always nice to see your architectural coins, especially an Alexandrian Domitian!

 

Thanks David, you wouldn't be biased would you?

 

Nah, Vespasian or Titus would suffice too.

 

Neat find

 

Nice one! I scored this nice overstruck Heraclius follis:

 

Thanks, your's has great eye appeal with that wonderful patina.
