That certainly is a nice coin! As for me, a coin of (or struck by) Odoacer tops my list:    Edited by VisigothKing

Eugenius isn't so rare in the UK - his siliquae show up on ebay with some frequency (perhaps a few times a year). Often they arent labelled as such, but they always get noticed. |

That is a nice coin VK. It is a little to early for this thread though. 378-476 CE.

Here is a drawing that depicts a battle between the troops of Constantine III and forces of General Stillicho in the 410s. Man, I would hate to have been in the Roman army at that time. Just think about it,; the Empire is collapsing around you due to the barbarians and civil war is a daily occurrence  . Truly a scary time to live in   Edited by Augustus Maximus
