<p>[QUOTE="Claudius_Gothicus, post: 5178094, member: 116315"]Thanks for the kind words; I also really love your coin, and I remember seeing it in some previous threads of yours. It belongs to the 4th and final Antioch emission of Claudius II, which I find to be the most interesting due to the fact that its eight reverses all featute a couple of deities, including some that rarely appeared on Roman coinage such as Vulcan. I've been trying to collect this issue, however, since it's very scarce, so far I have only managed to acquire two of the reverses (I haven't taken a photo of them yet, sorry). Once I have more I promise I'll make a thread discussing them in detail as well as the historical context for this emission, which is quite interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I agree, it's very impressive and much nicer than the usual portraits of this emperor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
