Clodius Albinus

I thought that I would skip forward a bit and start a thread on Clodius Albinus.

What we normally see is his denarii as Caesar from Rome, minted under Septimius Severus.

His bronzes are quite a bit scarcer.

His denarii from Alexandria are quite rare.

His denarii as Augustus are much scarcer than those as Caesar. The coinage of Albinus in Lugdunum began after he declared against Septimius Severus and continued until his defeat and death near Lugdunum.
