[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 2990499, member: 80783"]On September 16, 2016 Paul Francis Jacquier´s auction 41 offered a stunning 450 high quality coins of Postumus, Laelianus, Marius, and the Tetrici from the Michel Thys collection - the largest collection of coins of the Gallic Empire ever offered. I think the portrait style of this Sestertius is hard to beat for bronzes of that troubled period.
