Next: a mythological beast but not from Rome Actually, I was hoping someone would post a non-Augustus coin, because there are so many coins of his with capricorns and they're more unusual for other rulers. By "not from Rome," do you mean not minted in Rome or not Roman at all? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
