Thank you Ron C2!

Added two more coins:
Denarius of Orbiana:

Crusader Kingdom of Antioch, Tancred follis:

A nice Orbiana has been at the top of my want list for two decades so it's fine to finally check that off.

I really like the portrait on the Antioch coin, the Orbiana is great too. Its nice when you finally complete your goals.

I looked a long time for a nice orbiana denarius as well. I think she's the most elegantly portrayed Empress in Roman coinage.

Three new additions, a pretty but weakly struck denarius of T Carisius with another portrait of Victoria, a cute Herennia Etruscilla and a nice pre-reform Diocletian antoninianus:

I have a coin on the way that is one of my holy grails so I'm excited to share that when it gets here.
