<p>[QUOTE="zadie, post: 7796672, member: 114699"]Hahaha, good to meet you! Immediately after our little fight I felt I'd let things get a little out of hand with my bids, especially considering how the lot right after hammered for less than half. Looking back now I think we both got considerable deals. Yours is a great example, heavy weight, Q still preserved nicely and a very visible hasta. Congrats!</p><p><br /></p><p>Re: The possible linkage to the tetradrachms of Aesillas, I was very intrigued to read the "imperium" argument from Grant as I hadn't even considered that before. Expanding a little on what he wrote, one might find the issues of Lucius Julius Caesar interesting. He struck coins as propraetor of Macedonia in 94 BC, in the name and type of Aesillas. Thus providing us with an example of someone with imperium not deviating from the design previously issued by Aesillas, albeit as a praetor and not a quaestor. In the end though I feel an attribution to Macedonia is wholly unfounded, especially when considering the lack of finds there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
