<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3775052, member: 19463"]This one follows my observation that we see these with 'better' types than the 'run of the mill' asses. I could see the mint of necessity selecting nice coins, perhaps coins given to their local official by the emperor in a special ceremony. I have only one 'Cast in Gaul' as that is an ordinary type but even it has the more scarce variation of the goddess holding a drum rather than a thunderbolt. I feel there is a story here that I have not heard.</p><p>Caracalla / Goddess on lion</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1009215[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
