bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 7:50 pm Closest I could find on Wildwinds was Rhoemetalkes but sure you've already been there. Yours seems a bit smaller and lighter than most of those listed so I dont think its one of those. Both busts, particularly one looks very youthful and reminds me of Geta? Give me a 3rd or 4th C coin and I'm fine but I struggle with these older ones will keep thinking. Report this Post to the Staff

Can you get any text to match? Report this Post to the Staff
