[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 5030121, member: 85693"]A very interesting post. One of my favorite things about ancients are the incredible colors that develop over the centuries. Green globules? Globulesque? [ATTACH=full]1202045[/ATTACH] [B]Constantius I Chlorus as Augustus (struck by Maximinus Daia) Æ Post-reform radiate (305-306 A.D.)
