[ATTACH=full]1336479[/ATTACH] However, the surface looks weird to say the least. It is quite smooth and scratched, with a strange outline behind the bust. The legend looks almost flat to the background, with there being a lighter metal between the letters. Also, the reverse "CLEMENTIA AVG" is unknown for Carinus. Does it look tooled? Thanks![/QUOTE]
