<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 3202063, member: 57495&quot;]Neat group lot find, RC. Nice to see a very early Siscia CII portrait. </p><p><br /></p><p>I really like the random number generator at <a href="https://www.random.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.random.org/" rel="nofollow">random.org</a>, so I thought I&#039;d give the Generate button a hit as well.&nbsp; Here my contribution... lucky number 2746, which as Fortuna would have it, just arrived a few days ago. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Seller&#039;s pics, as I haven&#039;t taken my own yet. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]828942[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>UNCERTAIN.

How could I resist an invitation like that? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The fabric is pretty distinctive, and there&#039;s a fair bit of design and legend visible, so hopefully it won&#039;t remain a mystery for another few decades.&nbsp; Unless someone here manages to identify it (which actually wouldn&#039;t surprise me), I&#039;ll get cracking when I&#039;m back in town next week.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
