Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 08/28/2008 8:51 pm #15 is a very distinctive Late Roman Bronze: it's of Emperor Julian II, the last pagan emperor of Rome. The reverse type is SECVRITAS REIPVB, bull, Nicomedia mint. Like this one on Wildwinds, RIC 121. #16 is a "city commemorative" from around the time of Constantine. Obverse is a personification of Roma, legend VRBS ROMA, reverse is the she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, Siscia mint. Similar to this one on Wildwinds. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
