I thought Tetricus as soon as I saw the portrait combined with the poor production quality typical of Gallic Empire/Crisis. Could be totally...
@Justin Lee That is a beautiful coin. Private sale or auction? The strike is very nice, strong detail and legends. I don’t own a Siliqua yet...
That’s a really attractive coin @Mat. I have been to under bidder in a few auctions recently for some tets of SSev. I have the glimmer of hope...
