Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 12/07/2012 5:38 pm Love how poor the art on these coins get from the heyday of roman coinage - I'm getting some late roman coins soon (perhaps early byzantine) and I have to say it represents a very much forgotten part of numismatic history Report this Post to the Staff
