    Oh yeah, it is the baby Jesus' birthday too...the western one anyway. I bet you didn't know the Orthodox baby Jesus' birthday is January 7.

    I'm a Stilicho; half Spaniard and half American. I do have a lot of family who moved to Colombia in the 60's, my parents and I used to visit them a lot when I was younger. Good times....

    @ancientone Thank you! I did not realize that my coin's mintmark said "RS"! Finally, I can fully ID it!!

    Long live my only ancient coin, a Constantine I Follis struck in Rome, circa 317 AD. (SOLI INV - I - CTO COMITI)
