 Next, something a little different:  Non-numismatic literary fiction hint: This coin is from the geographic region where Brun's clan lived, ~25,000 years before this coin's kingdom.

You are in the right ballpark, someone like Sauromates II... Martin, since you are so knowledgeable of ancient coins, for your next guess I'd like for you to also name the fiction book reference in my clue. Gotta make it at least a little bit challenging.

Those were a couple of nice coins. I would have never guessed Caracalla.
