[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 3971658, member: 98035"]That's a beautiful Victorinus/Marius! I do have one, not much to look at but it was mixed in an inexpensive job lot [ATTACH=full]1045107[/ATTACH] (I still need to take pics of it) What is interesting is that Victorinus also used a very Postumus-like bust, giving some credence to the Historia Augusta's claim that Marius was just a blip on the radar who was gone as fast as he came. I sold this one last year; I regret parting with it. [ATTACH=full]1045108[/ATTACH] Anyway, I do have some others Severus Alexander-esque Maximinus (these are a lot scarcer than I initially thought) [ATTACH=full]1045109[/ATTACH] Gordian with a Balbinus-like face [ATTACH=full]1045110[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1045111[/ATTACH] Are we *sure* this isn't Gordian III in drag? [ATTACH=full]1045112[/ATTACH] This first year Gallienus looks more like Victorinus [ATTACH=full]1045114[/ATTACH] Ditto with this one, although maybe it's just from an unusual mint? [ATTACH=full]1045120[/ATTACH] Early Aurelian is barely distinguishable from Claudius II [ATTACH=full]1045122[/ATTACH] Here is an interesting Tetricus that I think may be the result of confusion about what he looked like? I dont think this one is barbarous. [ATTACH=full]1045123[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
