<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 3091771, member: 91820&quot;]Here&#039;s another example of &quot;rarity.&quot;&nbsp; Some years ago, I was lucky enough to be given an example of a Clodius Albinus As, Fortuna reverse, from the Lugdunum mint by a good friend, from the same dies as the one on RIC.&nbsp; The RIC example is in the British Museum. After I had posted the coin on MONETA (is this site still around? - I would very much like to rejoin, if only to get access to its&nbsp; archives) I was told that there existed example(s?) of an As of Clodius Albinus from the Lugdunum mint with Victory on the reverse - someone sent or posted a scan of an example of an Albinus As, which I still have in my multi-volume imperial bronzes (almost exclusively sestertii) scrap books, my personal Banti database. </p><p><br /></p><p>I THINK that the obverse was from the same die as the obverse of the one I have, which has FORTUNA on the reverse.&nbsp; As Curtis Clay pointed out in a MONETA post after I posted a scan of the coin, wouldn&#039;t it be terrific if someone found a sestertius of Clodius Albinus from Lugdunum?&nbsp; I heartily agree![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
