Excellent post, thanks.
@jamesicus That's an excellent suggestion! When I first started reading about Roman Britain with any serious intent towards the end of last year,...
I think the fact that the coins are difficult to search for might muddy the waters somewhat, and like the later unmarked coins of Galerius with...
@Kiaora nice new addition! I'm very sceptical of the RIC rarity rating for 14B, some time spent on the auction sites won't bring up many results...
Thanks for the kind thought, I try and remain philosophical with coins. If they crop up and I snag them, good, if not, as Epictetus would say, I...
@jamesicus I haven't yet found any of the bare bust intermediate folles in my time searching, but they are definitely a target of mine. Of course...

That's a beautiful example.
Thanks so much @jamesicus
Thanks so much @jamesicus , there's a lot to digest there and I will spend the morning comparing your pictures and notes with some auction...
