Another Roman I'm waiting for--I like the patina.

It looks like you could take a little more dirt of the coin and bring out the details quite nicely.

I like the blue green patina underneath.

I was thinking the same thing too--I may try to (carefully) work some dirt free around the portrait's eye, the wolf's head and the babes. Distilled water and a soft brush perhaps?

Nice looking coin. The mintmark looks like Rome to me. Maybe RB something. I'll be interested in what it looks like once you have it in hand. Congrats
