<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 8122576, member: 57495&quot;]Your RR list does not disappoint, Donna!&nbsp; Those are all impeccably chosen examples of interesting types. Incredibly hard to pick favorites, but if I had to, I&#039;d go with the eye-pleasing P Nerva, the outstanding Aurelius Cotta, the Sufenas, and the Metellus Scipio.&nbsp; (Damn, I really had to pick the exact same ones as TIF, didn&#039;t I <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie65" alt=":meh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>The Metellus Scipio is on my want list as it&#039;d make a nice companion piece for my Juba I bronze.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1414288[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>NUMIDIAN KINGDOM</b></p><p>AE28. 16.49g, 28.2mm.
