IoM shows us beautiful examples of the latter 2 types.</p><p><br /></p><p>Zumbly, as you say, the DNW auction was a real pleasure. There is something to be said for old-time english collections of ancient coinage. </p><p>I had set my sights on 3 coins, but could not keep up with the bidding. </p><p>This sestertius was at the limit of what I was willing to pay, and was very glad to have it. However, I do regret not pushing myself a little harder on one of the sestertii of Domitian with the emperor on horseback related to the campaigns in Germania, thus my interest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
