But to achieve this &quot;time machine&quot; feat with my whole portrait gallery, I would have to replace most of my post-251 aD sestertii that feature a darkish patina with unpatinated or &quot;Tiber&quot; toned specimens that are near impossible to find for that time frame.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
