VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 05/07/2014 11:34 am I wouldn't call it rare. More like scarce. Not as common as other late Roman bronze types but enough around that they are affordable, although high-grade examples will set you back a bit. My only one of this type was a mere $8: Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 05/07/2014 11:49 am You flatter me good sir A while ago I almost got a cheap but nicer upgrade of this type but by the time I was ready to buy (had been stuck on the wagon) it had already sold . Oh well. But if I ever do get the itch again to upgrade I know at least a couple of places I could turn to. Report this Post to the Staff
