<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4571882, member: 19463&quot;]We might point out there are Pescennius Niger AE in Provincials but his never controlling Rome made Imperials extremely unlikely.&nbsp; I do not have one but hope to find one someday. I understand there are Provincials of Albinus from three cities but what I have is from Pautalia.&nbsp; All I have seen listed were as Caesar before the split.&nbsp; That makes the Augustus as even more interesting.&nbsp; While I agree that a sestertius would be wonderful, I suspect the asses may have been made as presentation pieces rather than in full quantity for circulation so there may never have been sestertii.&nbsp; I hope I&#039;m wrong.&nbsp; The workmanship/centering of your coin suggests it was not a &#039;business strike&#039;.&nbsp; I have not seen the others.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You are too kind.&nbsp; When Warren (Valentinian on CT) and I started our pages in 1997 (February for me anyway), there was a glaring lack of online material on ancient coins.&nbsp; I had an inexplicable desire to learn to code HTML so I used coins as a subject for my self-graded homework resulting in a new page every week for several years until I realized that the need had passed.&nbsp; Nothing makes me happier than to hear from people who found those pages of use.&nbsp;&nbsp; I abandoned the project but Warren is still at it.&nbsp; I hope you will point beginners to his as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
