<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2564688, member: 74834&quot;]I have a Gratian AE 2, a rather battered and colorful coin, but it is dear to me because it is part of the legacy of my father-in-law. He collected mainly Roman and Byzantine coins, not very seriously. But as a village doctor with an interest in local history, patients came to him with archaeological finds. And in a little town not far from his house, there was a rose grower who occasionally found Roman coins on his land: there probably had been a Roman watchtower, it was not far from a large army camp, at the other side of the river.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is one of the coins that were found, a <i>Reparatio Reipublicae</i> type like Bing&#039;s. 23 mm, 3,72 gr. Sold to my father-in-law in 1974.&nbsp; With the touching card on which he penned the description in his spindly doctor&#039;s hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]553444[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]553443[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]553445[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
