Thanks for the write up. I did not realize that she was the mother of Claudius. Did Claudius also have a daughter named Antonia? Did he issue...
Two of my favorites. I no longer own this top coin: [ATTACH] Probus Sol in approaching quadriga [IMG] Constantine I Sol, facing.
My sister is always posting dorky photos of us as kids on Facebook or Instagram, neither of which I subscribe to. So I'm always hearing about this...

Not provincial, but an imperial coin of Spock: [ATTACH]
I clearly see a vase. [ATTACH]
