Yes, and I can also add that Victor's service is very good. I enjoyed my purchase. I agree that the price was a bit high, but it's nice enough...
I really like how you explained the legends. That's also a handsome, toned piece. All I have from that namesake are from the 1st and 6th ruler.
Yikes! To quote from A Christmas Story, "Football? What's a football?" That's me on Sunday. :D
One wonders if the Romans felt the same way when the triens, quadrans, semis, etc. went? With all due respect, I won't miss the penny. Every time...
