[QUOTE="Ryan McVay, post: 25223863, member: 117904"]This will probably be my last coin for a while. My 2004 Honda Pilot, with 215,000 miles, had to be replaced recently. Bummer because that was the best SUV ever! As we all know cash flow is king and new car payments are ungodly these days! (We can start the pity party now!) Anyway, I picked up a rather "rare" DIANA LVCIFERA coin by Valerian I. From what I can gather this would be a coin minted in ~218 AD for the birth of Gallienus. So far, OCRE has two examples, Vcoins has one and ACSearch has one of this type. That's a total of 5 including mine. DIANA LVCIFERA. Diana the bringer of light. Diana stands, holding transversely, with both hands, a lighted torch. In exchanging the bow and arrow for the torch, allusion is here made to her other titles and qualities, as Lucifera, or as Luna, whose light, being borrowed from the Sun, she was styled his sister.
