[QUOTE="Mat, post: 3937688, member: 21445"]I opened my Secret Saturnalia a few days early since my mom & I will be leaving for Vegas tomorrow to see her brother for a few days. Since she's been going through liver cancer for years now, it's a chance this will be her last holidays. So internet access isn't a big priority. I was pleasantly surprised. I own zero Alexandrian denominations outside of Tetradrachms & this Diobal is my first of it's kind. Plus you can never go wrong with Agathodaemon being featured. And I still have a soft spot for the empresses, even though I don't add them like I once did. So a Domna provincial was a welcome addition to my collection. Thanks, Secret Saturnalia!
