I like these big bronzes of Philippopolis (and other cities of that region), especially from Antoninus Pius. The portrait style very often is imperial roman as if die cutters were transferred from Rome to the Balkans.

Wow, that's fricken sweet!! ... Oki, congrats on adding that awesome coin

Man, I love the River-god reverse .... oh, and superb portrait => super cool coin

I'm totally jealous of your latest addition (a nice big, chunky, eye-appealing winner!)
