<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 7812923, member: 74968&quot;]So I managed to pick up a few wins today. While my general focus is the Flavian emperors, I specialize in the denarii of Domitian. I did not win any of those today, but I did add several for Domitian.</p><p><br /></p><p>So this first coin I won because it cost me 1 Euro. Okay, so an 1800-year-old coin for 1 Euro. Yup, I will take that.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1342565[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>CILICIA, Anazarbus. Severus Alexander. 222-235 AD.
