Big thanks to Eng and TIF! Didnt think id ever hold one of these things, let alone get one for free!

ITs a big bronze with a glossy olive greek patina - the rowers have nice detail, including faint remnants of the pilot (you can practically feel the rowers resentments towards him) and the rower's arms. I'm not going to touch it - this is how it shall stay. Question is...do I put it in the emperor set as an upgrade, or keep it out to have to hand?

Very nice pictures, Ben! Glad it arrived safe and sound.

My vote-- keep it out where you can play with it.

I have a very similar type, as a sestertius, with COS III PP in exergue. Took a while to fully attribute.
