    Unlike so many low end sestertii of DJ, this has a clear portrait and plenty of legend making the ID undeniable. We might not say it is pretty but it is what we can expect from a budget Didius. Enjoy!

    Well, it actually was´t THAT budget - I could have gotten a dozen Marcus Aurelius for it :)
