<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 3805020, member: 99456&quot;]I should follow the evidence offered by [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER],&nbsp; however it is too tempting to go with [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] for this coin - with 44 posts mentioning Tranquillina (only 11 for the rest of the field).</p><p><br /></p><p>He has also confessed a fondness for these coins, as well as once writing:</p><p>“Odessos is not the most common of the cities that issued these twin portrait coins. I don&#039;t have one.”</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I am going to vote for [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] for Coin#2 and I assume some photo editing or other trickery is at work. Alea iacta est.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=81887]@Parthicus[/USER] could be the owner, but only if he was under the influence of an impressive photo from [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] when he bid on this coin.&nbsp; Here’s a coin that I don’t remember bidding for, but apparently I did:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1015453[/ATTACH]</p><p>Anonymous Pagan Issue during reign of Maximinus II Daia, c.
