<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 4664002, member: 85693&quot;]On a bottom-feeder&#039;s Saturday night, I&#039;ve been working on attributions for this $11.50 lot from eBay. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think I&#039;m catching Probus fever - what an interesting, and very confusing run of coins that guy issued.&nbsp; Top row is a VICTORIA GERM with a bad wax job (good slogan for COVID-19) and a very worn VIRTVS PROBI with Probus on a horse (right).&nbsp; Second row left is a CONCORD MILIT and two SOLI INVICTO forward-facing chariot types (both RIC V 861 var. - mine both have only P, not PF in the obverse legend, which seems to be not normal - or I am misattributing again!). Serdica, Cyzica, Rome and Sisica mints. </p><p><br /></p><p>The bottom row is a hodge-podge of stuff.&nbsp; The City Commemorative Roma (Trier) and the Constantine campgate (Thessalonica) are perhaps the best of the bunch, in terms of condition.&nbsp; The wolf has beady little eyes.&nbsp; The campgate appears to be silvered somewhat?&nbsp; Or just a weird patina. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Tetricus and Claudius II both elude me - I can&#039;t make out enough to nail down the attributions. </p><p><br /></p><p>That awful burnt potato chip on the bottom left is a DIVO CARO posthumous commemorative for Carus from the Rome mint.&nbsp; That&#039;s an eagle on the reverse, trust me.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, this and the plague kept me out of the taverns tonight.&nbsp; But maybe it is time for a beer... </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1150394[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>One of my favorite things about ancients is the colors: </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1150409[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1150408[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
