<p>[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 4615233, member: 57495"]Lovely argenteus, with my favorite reverse for these. I'm 3 out of 4 so far in getting an argenteus for each tetrarch. At the same time, I fully subscribe to Doug's idea of "getting something a little different for each of the persons" and furthermore also hope that my last remaining one (Diocletian) will have some feature or aspect "I did not even know existed before." That may mean I won't be ticking off the box with the next one or even one hundred Diocletian argentei I see, but I figure that's part of what makes the hunt fun. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1143121[/ATTACH]<b>MAXIMIANUS</b></p><p>AR Argenteus. 3.11g, 17.9mm.
