The faces on the twins are really nice. There would be temptation to clear away a bit more of the sand but that could ruin what is already nice.

With that desert patina, it has to be one of the best 'URBS ROMA''s I have seen.
Thanks for posting it. I am still looking for a nice one myself.

I finally have one of these in my collection, so I wanted to share it. The pictures don't show it well, but the coin has a very nice dark chocolate patina. It was struck at Siscia with a mintmark of Dot Gamma SIS Dot:

Thanks Doucet. I've been waiting to find one in good enough condition that was not over priced.
