Nice coin. I lucked into a "Jahangiri Rupee" which is 20% heavier than the standard rupee - it was in my local dealer's junk box, unattributed....
Interesting thread. I have but one Decentius: [ATTACH] Decentius Æ Centenionalis (351-352 A.D.) Lugdunum (Lyons) Mint DN DECENTIVS NO[B...
This was such a fine thread I thought I'd bring it back from the distant past of 2019. These Nicaea "standards" issues are so common I never...
Even Homer nods? indignor quandoque bonus dormitat Homerus... Not that I'm Homer, of course. :shame: even Homer nods - Wiktionary
Nice coin and write-up, Cucumbor. I was gifted this one by CT member tenbobbit: [ATTACH] Herennius Etruscus Bil. Tet. (250-251 A.D.)...
Oops. I got my Faustina's mixed up. That Roman Britain connection is pretty interesting historically.
