<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2872182, member: 57495&quot;]This hobby can get costly when you start off wanting just one example of a certain type, and soon find a few convincing reasons to buy a second, then a third...</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, please say &#039;Hi&#039; to one of my two wins from CNG 106 - a lovely, toned, tack-sharp argenteus of Maximianus with a great, high-relief portrait of the emperor.&nbsp; When I acquired my second argenteus last year, I mentioned that a four-turreted early campgate type with open doors was on my list, and this one fit the bill to a tee.&nbsp; I might have better liked an example of the earliest type to depict a campgate (the issue just preceding this one), but I settled seeing as I&#039;m really no specialist in this area.&nbsp; Either that, or I now have a reason to look for a fourth argenteus? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Please share anything you feel might be appropriate!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]686702[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>MAXIMIANUS</b></p><p>AR Argenteus. 3.11g, 17.9mm.
