An interesting fact about the children of Marcus Caesar and Faustina that almost no one else knows, because I have never published it: the...
How do we know that the four children on DonnaML's coin represent Faustina's own children? Well, as Roman Collector shows above, the same type of...
Possibly BM 463, RIC 313a, with TR P VI not VII in rev. legend? BM 463 is a nice specimen, illustrated in their online photos, but unfortunately...
Was it just by chance that you bought 14 trays and the cabinet has seven drawers, so two trays per drawer nicely fills the cabinet?

Roman Collector, Did you perhaps overlook my request above in this thread whether you could send me scans of the three "children" pages of...
