Wow, that is a very detailed and lovely scene on that sestertius!
I purchased a year's subscription to ACSearch which cost $80 and IMO it is money very well spent. I use it all the time not just for attribution,...
Good day everyone! Hope you are all doing well. Last time, I posted about a very rare as of Trajan. Today I want to show a much more common coin,...
