Lovely coin I never get tired of looking at Roman Silvers. I hope you don't mind me posting these to your thread, but I thought I might show how I managed to find all three members of the same family.

Wow, is all I'm saying!!

Thank you all
Now after some super fine silver brush polishing,and after treatment with Renaissance micro-crystalline wax she looks even better and preserved for lifetime.

Very nice. It never ceases to amaze me to watch Europeans digging up truly ancient things. Its humbling to realize how much longer your history goes back than ours. We're barely a quarter-millennia, where yours is many.
