As the tag indicates, he purchased the coin from W.S. Lincoln of Oxford St. in London. Roman history combined with a Victorian era numismatic souvenir, what more can you ask for?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]578170[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Please share your favourite quinarius![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
