  1. Very cool!

    Sorry for the bad picture, I have this which I'm fond off.

    Portrait of Alexander III of Macedon, and Philip II of Macedon, on cornelian from Lord Bessborough's collection. Copperplate engraving by Thomas Worlidge from James Vallentin's One Hundred and Eight Engravings from Antique Gems, 1863.

    And some of my silver and bronze coinage..

    Hello

    In the Probus coinage, left-hand busts and mainly consular busts are nothing special. They dominated in the Rome mint (Toga Palmate and Toga Picta), but are very rare in the Ticinum mint.

    He only said they lacked in his collection, nothing about rarity or "special" -ality.
