Instead, a siliqua! Not sure if bidders were asleep or busy or whatever, because I was able to score this nice, non-clipped siliqua of Constantius II for only $23 a couple of weeks ago. Definitely one of my best deals ever imo. Constantius IIAR siliqua Obv: DN CONSTAN-TIVS PF AVG, pearl-diademed, draped bust right Rev: VICTORIA DD NN AVG, Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm, one wing visible LVG in ex, Lugdunum mint Ref: RIC VIII 214 17 mm, 1.63 gr  |

Only $23? Thats a great deal!
Theres some real interesting siliquae out there but it seems that almost all are the shoddy Votive issues.

Nice. Good overall details and quite a bargain at that price. I also only own one Siliqua. An Honorius.

Must be exciting to find any ancient coin in the ground. Too bad I'm an ocean away from ancient coin country  |

Thanks all! It's my third siliqua. I also have a nice siliqua of Honorius (my avatar) and a beat-up and bent Julian II.

I have detected for many hundreds if not thousands of hours....she comes out for an hour and turns this up! on a temple site, so I guess it was votive.
