Hi Quadrans!

Very nice. And the shield with its decoration was then used on the later solidi.

Best regards

That's a gem. I am sure that you could make an entire collection out of his shield variations.

Hi Martin,

 Thank you your comment ...:)

Yes, I've always been thinking about the need to write down all the known shield variants, not just at Probus,
but possibly at Crispus and the rest... :) +++
