<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 319209, member: 9204&quot;]Well, I went into the city with money and came out near broke. So it was a good show. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Severus sestertius commemorates victories in Scotland over the Picts, which explains why its in Spinks. Its a fairly rare and very popular piece. I was lucky to get it for just over $200. The Viminacium piece was practically given to me (only $30!) and the Vespasian was ten bucks from a junk box.
