MARS VICTOR In much the same way as the early issues (2 and 3) above I struggle differentiating between emission 2 and 3. I really need to see if...
May I just ask if people find the type of post above useful or just noise? If people find them useful then I am happy to do more of this type of...
I have a few Florians and as is my preference they primarily come from Lugdunum. They deserve being dragged out and their photos updated. This...
The Felicitas type from my OP is used across the whole range of Emissions of Probus from Lugdunum. The reverse type with the legend TEMPORVM...
