Nobody ever invites me to bacchanalias :( these days. But always glad to jump in on a CT digital version. I recently got what I assume is infant...
From a huge batch from CTer @tenbobbit here is what I think is the "palm only" type of that Victorinus - the additional information in this post...
Beautiful example of an often unattractive type, @nerosmyfavorite68 I really like that deep, attractive green. A countermark nut, I have a...
