"Not My Job" - A Terrible Engraving Job on a small Theodosius II


Recommended Posts

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.
