I see them all the time !
But not in a condition where you can see the poor chump getting impaled so graphically.

A very nice type and a VF to boot !
I am jealous my friend.

Based on the color and the glossy surfaces I believe that with proper conservation you might have a real gem.
The black surface oxidation looks like it might be coerced into coming off. If so the coin would have fantastic eye appeal.
Emerald green is a lovely color for ancient bronze.

Nice coin ro. As you say, a type that is often seen, but it is a very interesting coin as it commemorates Trajans victories after interminably long campaigns to subjugate Dacia and their king Decebalus.

Very nice coin. I am still looking for a decent Galba for my twelve caesars collection.
