Redirecting the thread to architecture is nice too, but I think the OP was pointing at Romulus, son of Maxentius. The OP started with RIC 33....
Thank you for rounding out the picture on this one, IOM. I do not have RIC I revised. However, here is a link to the British Museum collection...
Here's a Pud with his frau - Sabina: [ATTACH] Common for the ladies, but not sure about the guys. Given his tendency to keep his distance from...
SOLI INVICTO This is one of the reasons I hate autocorrect. Few will take the time to proof their texts, and so it goes - untintended, but...
Intriguing coin, Andres. Thanks for posting the notes on the reverse. My latest example of a denarius for Vitellius is very similar to your's,...
