Good coins, guys, thanks for posting! This isn't a new coin for me, Eng. I've been pretty much sticking to my Nabataeans, but occasionally...
I'm sorry - I said Jupiter but I meant GENIO. I wish the forum would allow longer times for editing.
I imagine these coins have been carefully restored, probably with some sort of dremel tool, to clean off the devices and keep the deposits in the...

I've got this follis - a nice coin to be sure, but the most common type: as caesar, Jupiter standing... [img] The reason I ask is that I'm...
