Eddop - 2 can play the Virtus/Virtus game! I wont bother posting the obverses to these 2 - the allectus is coated in dirt and the carausius is not photogenic. At all. Left - an uncommon reverse for carausius, VIRTVS AVG - mars standing right, leaning on shield. Right - Allectus, VIRTVS AVG - galley sailing left with 8 little british sailors aboard.  |
