Very nice first pickup for the year. I keep forgetting that some of the provinces were permitted to make their own denarii, rather than AE or heavily debased billon.
Rest in Peace

That is a really superb beauty.

If that is your years bench mark you have a seriously busy year ahead.

That is a great coin. I agree that the two lyres are neat, but I like the tiny owl best!
