@geekpryde should've been a mod all along, given the contributions he has made with some of those great statistical threads, among other things....
Maybe just this portrait- not his others.
Agreed. Breaking the coins out would be a waste. It's worth more as a numismatic curio, as-is, than the individual coins would be, broken out....
Vabalathus of the Palmyrene empire was a Roman client king of sorts, wasn't he? Here he is on a coin with Aurelian. My old scans of it: [IMG]...
