<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 3243304, member: 21445&quot;]This was an odd buy this year. I had it on my want list on Vcoins for sometime to see it sold. Then a few months later, it’s listed on eBay for much less then asking on Vcoins, needless to say I jumped on it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cointalk.com%2Fproxy.php%3Fimage%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fs33.postimg.cc%252Fum1629tbz%252Fdomtet.jpg%26hash%3D854ebce87f1ea8c48b280c7cb4d940fb&amp;hash=cafa8accaabbc1b3dd839b475415acf8" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Domitian (81 - 96 A.D.)</p><p>SYRIA, Seleucis and Pieria.
