<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 3117379, member: 44316"][USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER] , that is a wonderful writeup. Coins illuminate history and that coin is more inspiring than most. Types like DANVVIVS that are connected to historical events (as opposed to stock types) are especially enjoyable. Your thoughtful exposition shows you have studied the coin's connection to history more than most of us study our coins.
