When this was struck (in Rome), the Western Empire had at most a decade and half left of existence.

sweet little mini-bee! my smallest coin is almost twice as large as that.

 

Those coins are the bees' knees, for sure.

Lord => I'll try to remember to take a few shots when it arrives by dog-sled
