The price wasn&#039;t bad, I also asked for a discount and I received. This coin is also my 80th Roman Imperial ruler, which includes Caesars, women, children, friends, etc. It took me since November 2011 to assemble this many on my low budget. So, I feel like it&#039;s a milestone of sorts. When I get to 100 I will definitely celebrate. lol</p><p><br /></p><p>Right now the coin is on it&#039;s way in the mail system. I haven&#039;t had much luck with receiving coins lately. That&#039;s for another story someday. I have faith this one will arrive.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometime soon I will be making a post with what coins I have from the ERIC II list, that Steve typed out one day, I believe. Not to mention my Imperial grid.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, about the coin. If anyone wonders what the legends mean, I will explain. On the obverse of the coin says &quot;C IVL VER MAXIMVS CES&quot;. Julius Verus Maximus Caesar. On the reverse is &quot;COL FL PAC DEVLT&quot; Colonia Flavius Pacensis (or Pacifica) Deultum. The goddess Fortuna is on the reverse of the coin. She is the goddess of fortune and luck, also similar to Tyche of the Greek pantheon.</p><p><br /></p><p>Wikipedia Copy and Paste</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There doesn&#039;t seem to be much information about Deultum.
