Here is mine, that I am sure you have already seen... I just like her Olive Oyl innocent look, but she was a Tough Bad-As Leader (very uncommon for Romans), being the first living Roman Female featured on a coin. LOL, all her husbands seemed to had gotten killed! [ATTACH=full]1237783[/ATTACH] [B]The Triumvirs. [/B][I]Mark Antony. [/I] Late summer-autumn 43 BC. [B]AR Quinarius[/B] (13mm, 1.67 g, 5h).
