<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2156034, member: 19463"]The other coin that arrived today is another in my series of the common two victories coins of Magnentius and Decentius. These were very out of the ordinary emperors or usurpers as you choose to see them striking coins at only a few mints officially but there are many barbarous looking ones that I usually avoid for reasons I'm not sure I understand. Each mint has a style that seems distinctive in some way (but trouble with eyebrows is common to many?) so a set of them looks good together.
