paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 12/19/2023 2:31 pm Much better. Is that just green patina? I like the oddball "Phoenix on rocks" reverse of your original (I have one of the same) Interesting to compare the stylistic differences between Siscia and Thessalonica.

maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2099 Posts	Posted 12/20/2023 03:50 am Now that is a great upgrade. I bought these two because on is the barbarous imitative of the other, which I thought quite interesting Imitative Original mint product You could try and get a couple of other FEL TEMP coins to give those two company..... I have some Phoenix-pyre coins But there is also Phoenix-globe And then there is the Hut type. I have too many.... Rome is normally in fine style.... His fallen horseman types are ofter scarcer than their Constantius II equivalents Report this Post to the Staff
