So this takes me from Julius Caesar Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra up to Henry VIII. In short my overall focus is coins of historical figures throughout the ages with a concentration on interesting themes. Here is a coin that while provincial comments on both imperatorial and imperial times. Augustus and Julius Caesar (a Saturnalia gift from [USER=91461]@Ryro[/USER] ) One scholar believed that this coin was a restitution issue under Domitian. (Yet another link to one of my collecting themes) [ATTACH=full]867807[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
