<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TJC, post: 2651587, member: 45502&quot;]I have been slowly trying to put together a 3rd century crisis set focused around the reign of Gallalianus including some of usurpers that are within my plebeian means.&nbsp; Two of these usurpers that I have been hunting down are the eastern usurpers Macrianus the Younger and Quietus. I was thrilled to see a new Quietus on the block the other day while simultaneously having funds for the purchase. I pushed the check out button, paid and I just got the coin today<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I am super stoked with my new purchase. I think it is as attractive as more than most out there. What I like about this example is the ninety-nine percent full legends, not unattractive silvering, high bust detail (I can almost see the outline of the ear!), and yeah this Quietus ran into Lord Voldemort but that just makes him special like Harry Potter!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>And of course it looks better in hand<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Wikipedia gives a fairly good history hear:</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quietus" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quietus" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quietus</a></p><p>And here is seller pics and iPhone pics below.
