My good friend 'Dutch' asked my opinionation regarding some large bronzes he was eyeing (they were on my watch list but I had already decided to take a pass). After receiving the all clear from Dutch I threw in a lowball bid on another lot of 'ants' the seller offered and went about some other business. I had thought I spied one of interest in the picture of mostly Claudius II and Gallienus ants and was somewhat surprised to get the congratulatory email later on. Closer examination revealed I got not one but two 'bonus' ants.  MARTI PACIF & VICTORIA AVG  Not the prettiest I have ever seen but at $6.02173913 each I can't complain ! I have intentionally omitted the attribution to give the newer members something to puzzle over. Not that hard really ........  Edited by FVRIVS RVFVS

Now that you have all those "ants" you'll need an ant farm to put them in  (sorry, lame I know  ) |

Good buy for that 'horrendous' amount of money, let's also say #58 and #33.

Two Quintilli make one Decius ?
I will post a few others later. Most are over cleaned (a bit coppery) although not ruined.
In case any 'youngsters' misconstrued my last pic (not intended as a slam)
It is of course Captain Quint portrayed by the 'late' great Robert Shaw in the movie Jaws
