<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4733104, member: 19463"]I showed my best one over on some Victory thread yesterday and my worst but most rare one too many times. PeteB showed one like my IVSTITIA but nicer (but I call that style Caesarea instead of Antioch). That leaves the Minerva which is from the earlier period before they added COS II to the obverse legend. I wish funds allowed me to give PN the attention I give to the coins of Septimius Severus struck during their 'disagreement' over who was going to save Rome.
