I saw one of these on eBay a month or two ago. I took a run at it in the same way... hoping nobody had noticed it but I wasn't the only one. It...
...or when in doubt attribute by beard coolness (not really but here are two from the same mint, close in mint year). Galerius - Alexandria - RIC...
This coin has had a rough life... but I can't say "no" to giant snakes. [ATTACH] Marcus Aurelius. As Caesar EGYPT, Alexandria. Æ Drachm. Dated...
This one's not Rome mint but still Vitellius, Bronze and rare... from Alexandria! I bought what I thought was a beat-up Vespasian... but after...

A beautiful coin! Congrats, maybe the nicest I’ve seen!
