<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 7639189, member: 57495&quot;]Welcome to the Croc Club!&nbsp; I do really like this issue and think that every collection of ancients should be in possession of at least one.&nbsp; I think in [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]&#039;s collection, the number is more like 5.5? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1313773[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>AUGUSTUS &amp; AGRIPPA</b></p><p>AE As. 12.0g, 26.4mm. GAUL, Nemausus, circa 20-10 BC. RIC I 156. O: IMP/DIVI•F•, head of Agrippa left, wearing combined rostral crown and laurel wreath, bare head of Augustus right.

I don&#039;t have a great example, but a nicer one would have hurt my wallet too much.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1313772[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>KINGDOM OF MAURETANIA.
