Plus a semi-impulse buy, a tetartemorion from Caria, uncertain mint, that looks excellent in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>This denarius was the last one, I wanted one more coin but maximum price I was willing to pay was 30 EUR. Two better denarii went before it, but ~100 EUR each. This one is inferior, but I think it is worth 28 EUR. </p><p>Probably the last emperor with accurate, artistic portraits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
