    Here is a nice AE2 of Decentius, AD 351-353. Below is the finest auction catalog of Greek coins ever produced. It is a fun read!

    I added some coins of Magnentius yesterday to my page:

    Included are some ancient imitations.
    If you want a Decentius portrait, this is good one, low-priced. Please compare with offers elsewhere. Check out the the offerings on my site.

    Prospero (offered by Markov, Baldwin's, and M&M Numismatics, Jan. 4, 2102. "The New York Sale, XXVII) ) the finest catalog of ancient Greek coins ever produced. The coins are comparable to those of the famous "Kunstfrendes" Leu sale but the advent of color and large enlargements makes this massive catalog like a super coffee-table book. [The bluish bump at the bottom of the pictures is my slipper holding it down.]
    11 5/8" x 8 1/4" x 1" thick. 640 superb lots, one or two per page, with long writeups and life-size photos plus most have x3 or x4 or x5 photos too, all gorgeous color. [$65 on vcoins, here, $39 + $5 shipping in the US only. A real pleasure to look at and read. With PR.]

    I have more excellent books and catalogs on my page:
