Hmm… if the hammer is the reverse, what if it was just that the die fell off the hammer before or during striking? I can imagine a Kevin, early...
My preference may be influencing my opinion. I'd prefer it to be Caracalla as I think he's more impactful on the history of the empire. However......
Maybe that's where the reverse die may have been anchored and the obverse was struck without the reverse die present? I don't know enough about...
Anyone up? What are you working on tonight? I recently received this fantastic Julian from Arles from @Victor_Clark . Arles seems to be a scarcer...

If I was a time traveler… and Licinius asked me to join him as his number 2… I’d have to say no and then disappear in the dead of night. Haha.
Another personality that I don’t know anyone has is Valerius Valens. I don’t have one and don’t know anyone that does… but I do have these two...
