[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 7898329, member: 83845"]Thank you my friend! That is a great Decimus Albinus coin as well. Thank you for the kind words my friend. I was very happy to snag an example with “BRVTVS” so clear and centered on the flan. :D I like your provincial Pompey a lot. The portrait looks like it is very close in style to some of his bust portraits. [ATTACH=full]1364057[/ATTACH] I took this photo in the Correr Museum in Venice. It’s a dead ringer for your Cilicia example. :cool::) A coin of Crassus’s son is very much appropriate for the thread... and super cool! That’s a great coin and very well centered with a clear CRASSVS. Sounds like you stayed right near the Da Pancrazio restaurant I mentioned in the OP. Good food and unbeatable atmosphere! We stayed in the Eitch Borromini right next to Sant’ Agnese in Piazza Navona. We could see the fountain of the Four Rivers out the window every morning at breakfast and a view of St. Peter’s from our room. There were lots of very good restaurants on the street just to the east of the Piazza. Ahhh I miss Rome... Italian food, gelato and ancient ruins. :happy:[/QUOTE]
