Great coin! I like the reverse too.
Severus Alexander, like others I was uncertain if I should "like" your post or not but in the end I decided to "like" it. Please understand it in...
"Underage son" seems a much better fit for Flavius than "infant son". Underage is ambiguous though as apparently a boy could wear the toga virilis...

Cool discovery. Thanks for posting.
Sorry I didn't read your original post closely enough. That should be fine too. The PVC-free flips are stiff and in principle they could put...
That's a really nice coin!
