<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2333313, member: 51347&quot;]Ok, yes, I am an ardent fan of the Roman Republican, and focus my collection on their Histories.&nbsp; However, I am quietly collecting the Roman Empire coins also.&nbsp; I have but 20 slots to fill in my Roman Empire Album, and these last 20 are going to be more of a challenge to complete.&nbsp; Since I am a true adherent to the Republic and its wonderful history; once I complete the Album, I plan to give it to my Grandkids so that the next generation can appreciate Ancients.</p><p><br /></p><p>I normally do not post Empire coinage, but this one struck me as a cool coin to share.</p><p>Mission accomplished:&nbsp; Maximus slot filled...
