I like that one a lot!  The legionary eagle between standards is a desirable type! I did take a look at the 4c Columbian cover. |

I noticed that on the reverse of the Faustina denarius,
Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, has a bit of green encrustation on her gown.
It seems fitting, but does anyone think I should try cleaning it off?
It is not bothering me so I will probably leave it alone.
