Great losers! Very historic, this was a very enjoyable viewing!!
So much of history focuses on the winners and often neglects the losers. I always see Otho Coins selling for a small fortune. Congrats on your finds and thanks for sharing! I also find it interesting that some of the coins show victory, its ironic because that is simply not the case. To bad there isn't an equivalent god for Defeat!
