hotwheelsearl Posted August 8 · Member Share Posted August 8 This tiny little Theodosius has a great obverse. Really nice, actually! However, flip it over and you see that the celator sort of phoned it in. The O in VOT is tiny and misplaced, the T in MVLT is misplaced, one X of the XXX is nice, one is bad, and one appears to have been added later as an afterthought. What a travesty! How could the empire ever hire such a failure! It's like he engraved V-T, MVL, and then X, and just... was drinking too much Roman grog or something. 10 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
