    This new addition IS an upgrade. I was able to get it at auction for very little, so why not, neh?

    Great upgrade @Bing ! A cool time as the Republic is deep in the Imperatorial Period! I like 'em both. RR is my style :)

    I have one of those also:

    @Bing has a way of making me feel inadequate about my coins! :woot: :angelic:

    Carausius Brother, can you spare a sestertius?

    I have an example, which (a year or two after purchase) I discovered was the plate coin in Sear, History and Coinage of the Roman Imperators.
