<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 7678043, member: 75937&quot;]Nice acquisition for your coin cabinet, [USER=91461]@Ryro[/USER]! I do love provincials! They were just as &quot;legal tender&quot; as the imperial issues and often have far more interesting reverse types! Let&#039;s face it, your Pelops, brandishing whip, on horse rearing right is a lot more interesting than this dull old Jovian eagle on this consecration issue of the deified Augusta. Yeah, it <i>doesn&#039;t exactly</i> have 5/5 surfaces, but I&#039;m <i>not exactly</i> Clio, either. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/marciana-consecratio-denarius-jpg.1275331/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Marciana, Augusta, c.
