It is also worth noting here that Tacitus makes an interesting denomination available to the collector. This is the "double antoninianus". These...
Another MIID thread appeared just before I was going to add this thread. I have saved most of my M II D coins, which are from Alexandria for this...
Nice one Q. It's nice to see a flaming altar with the libations pouring out from the patera. My Nicomedia with a similar depiction is nowhere...
