It is 18mm 3mm thick and 5.85g I also found this image on ebay with a full legend http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ANCIENT-R...em43c45c362e I have had a look on various sites, but I can't find the reverse. Opinions please? Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 11:00 am I dont believe so(legend ends wrong, not a design listed for him), ~~but a little birdy tells me theres an uncleaned lot on ebay at the moment with a really nice Vabalathus in it, if you're interested.~~ - I tell a lie, sold this morning very cheap - might have gone for it if I didnt have one already Edited by Ben 02/05/2014 11:06 am Report this Post to the Staff
