 I'm sorry. There absolutely no features on the bust. There is no way to know.

Quote: Heres one which I'm sure someone will recognise immediately: Clearly Ben used the sarcasm font. The only thing I can guess is that it might be a double portrait obverse, since the dirt-colored blob which is purportedly the bust is so far to the side of the coin.

I honestly thought that you guys would get this one! But being yanks you guys dont have access to this sort of stuff.
Heres a nice clue...this guy reportedly rebelled against king Bassanius.
See, I'm so nice I just gave you guys two clues.

Yeup! Classic scowl he has on the early ones. If anyone wants a good read, Monmouth's Legendary Kings of Britain is good. Although hideously inaccurate...Bassanius is Caracalla, represented as the king of england in the book.

Interesting...background Ben. Pinning Caracalla as king of England. Well played Martin.
