I went to the local shop today and picked up a couple of Roman coins for my slowly growing collection. Just thought I'd share. The info is just what was included with the coins. I haven't looked them up yet, so I'm not sure about the accuracy of the info or anything like that...

I've started a bit of a Septimus Severus collection, so when I saw this again today, I had to pick it up. It was also the coin I almost bought (instead of the one that's my avatar) as my first ever Roman coin several months ago. I decided not to pass it up twice...

I've been wanting to add one of these to my collection and they had one that I could afford, so I snagged it...sorry for the bad pics...
