That’s a lovely coin of Germanicus. Has the reverse field been smoothed? Great eye appeal.
If I were to guess a mint, it would be Constantinople. Do I see CON in the exergue? I’m not sure, but I think I do.

I will give you twice that for it right now. Cash. No questions asked.
INVICTA ROMA. Ironic.
Seems like I read somewhere that Domitian first used that title while living, but I don’t think it’s ever attested on a coin. I’m not sure where...
[ATTACH] Just good ol’ Microsoft Word. In a separate folder I have begun keeping whatever paperwork arrives with a coin. I do not have a high-end...
