<p>[QUOTE="Gil-galad, post: 2299653, member: 44154"]I've managed to obtain 31 decent coins this year, ten of them I will post here. The first half of the year is when I obtained the most coins, but this last half of the year has been difficult to score more coins as money has been just as scarce for me. I filled a few difficult to fill Roman ruler slots which brings me up to 108 Roman rulers. I also started working on my website which is not complete enough to upload to the internet.</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]461910[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>GALBA. 68-69 AD.
