<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 3177826, member: 85693&quot;]Nice batch of Rome-Britain numismatic history, everybody. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just yesterday I got an AE as from Geta with Victory the inscription BRITTANICAE on the reverse.&nbsp; It is quite pitted but it was less than $10 so I figured it was worth it (citation in Wildwinds says it is &quot;rare&quot; and online examples are few and far between).&nbsp; I am assuming this is from his dad&#039;s campaign in Britain, where he died in York?&nbsp; I&#039;m still working on attribution, but I think I&#039;m getting close...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]818128[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Geta AE As, Rome.
