Humilau

@maridvnvmI think I recognize those coins of yours haha, Griffiths? The KA siscia coins are such an interesting issue to me. I get them whenever they show up at auction, unfortunately they almost never appear due to their scarcity. Sometimes I get lucky though. Its a fun series for me to collect even within the regular siscia issues I have. Although the rarer KA issues like FIDES MILITVM, SECVRITAS SAECVLI, and PM TR P COS PP may elude me for some time I still pick up KAs' whenever they hit the market to built up that small subset of my collection. Currently for my subset KA collection I have been able to find 8 individual coins with 6/8 being different 7th emission CLEMENTIA TEMP issues with the other two being the ADVENTVS PROBI AVG pictured above and a VICTORIAE AVG.

@maridvnvmvery nice attics, even in not so great of shape they are still very nice to have. Since I said I collect some Siscia stuff I might as well show some. I am particularly found of the KA series from Siscia so I try to get those whenever I can. First Coin: Obv: VIRTVS PROBI AVG Rev: ADVENTVS PROBI AVG / -/-/-/KA Mint: Siscia, 2nd emission, 3rd officina Bust: E1 Ref: Pink: Em. 2B2 3.80 grams, 22mm 5ish known of this type Second Coin: Obv: IMP C PROBVS P AVG Rev: CLEMENTIA TEMP / -/ᴗ/-/KA Mint: Siscia, 7th Emission, 4th Officina Bust: E1 var Parma Ref: Alfoldi 18/6 3.59 grams, 21 mm 4 known of this type

Probus from Lugdunum you say? May I introduce you to my E1 (Bastien code) var. bust Attic Helmet then. I mainly go after Probus rarities from Siscia but given the opportunity for this rarity I had to get it. As you probably know the E1 (military busts) are already rare for Lugdunum, but an E1 Military Bust with an Attic style helmet rather than the standard Corinthian style is even more rare. This Probus is 5th Emission, 3rd Workshop with a MARS VICTOR reverse. An E1 Attic Helmet Probus is not listed by Bastien afaik for a Mars Victor / III reverse and I have not seen another example show up at auction or online so there is a chance that this coin is unique.
