<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7021948, member: 19463&quot;]I find it interesting that Quintillus is a favorite.&nbsp; His claim to the throne was that he was the brother of Claudius II.&nbsp; That seemed to be accepted by few people which explains his short reign.&nbsp; His coins, even the nicest ones rarely are full legend suggesting to me that the mess at the mint &#039;corrected&#039; by Aurelian was in full force during his short reign.&nbsp; For many years I had a particularly typical Quintillus which I sold when I found two a bit better. I do agree that the portrait work was above average for the period.&nbsp; I suspect he may have shown particular interest in how he was portrayed.&nbsp; The Tejas coin is really quite nice with good surfaces even.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1273963[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1273964[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
