[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 1820553, member: 8959"]'Unfortunately', this favorite dealer of mine had just too many nice coins. I have known them for some time, so I was able to get good deals on these two. The Marcus Antonius legionary joins my growing fleet of legionary coins - LEG VI Ferrata, LEG XII, LEG XIX, and my newest acquisition, LEG IX Hispana. Most interesting was a Clodius Albinus denarius minted at Lugdunum. I have always wanted one of the Lyon coins due to the marked difference in portrait as compared to his coins minted in Rome. This one has a nice portrait, but the reverse is unfortunately much off-cente and quite rough. It honors the Fidelity of the legions which followed Clodius Albinus in his struggle against Septimius Severus, represented on this coin symbolically by two hands joined[ATTACH=full]298829[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298830[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298831[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298832[/ATTACH] . Clodius Albinus denarius, Lugdunum. RIC 20b. C 24 2,75 g[/QUOTE]
