Nice. I did have one but parted with it a few years back.

 

Terrific eye-appeal!!

 

Lovely toning on that tet!

 

Thanks

That was a nice one, Martin. Surprised you parted with it.

 

Wow, @Mat , you are KILLING the Tets out there! That one looks GREAT! Nice dark chocolate, and he is playing the new Double Triangle instrument!

My ONLY Tacitus:


RI Tacitus 275-276 CE AE Ant Providentia

 

Very nice! I can even see his neck beard in that portrait.

 

Great coin Mat! Love that patine too. It does look like a nice piece of chocolate
