Am I wrong or is this your 4th Calpurnius? Perfect as usual.

 

BTW There is probably a 12 step program for coin collecting.

It's the 5th of this type and year. I love the high relief on these and this one has a particularly charming style for the bust of Apollo.

 

You got a link to that there 12 step program? I need it bad! -h
