[Ancients] Crispus, Caesar

Howdy All,

This is pretty beat up, but still a nice coin.

And thanks to Bing who (I got to meet in person) was kind enough to give me a couple of coins for my ancient collection.

(still same problem with the pics obverse terrible, and reverse great...), if I missed any info, please tell me.
