Message:: [QUOTE="Shea19, post: 7974715, member: 90981"]Thanks!   Some great examples so far!  Since there have been a few provincials posted, I figure I may as well share in this thread some tetradrachms of Macrinus that I've added over the past year or so.  There's definitely a lot more variety in portrait style in these tetradrachms from the Eastern mints, I always enjoy these.
