Benefactor Phil Davis Posted July 17, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) I bought this from Joel Malter, let's just say more than a few decades ago. Even at the time, it was a good buy for $55. No, it's not something I would go after now, and for a long time it lived in my "reject" trays, but at some point I decided it deserved better, even with the obvious problems. I am still rather fond of it. Next: Anything Octavian, BEFORE the bloodthirsty teenage twerp became the calm benevolent Augustus in 27 BC. No cheating!
