At 34 mm and weighing 27.6 grams, this coin is huge; bigger than a sestertius. Provincial output could be hefty.

    That is an impressive bronze! I like how Gordian looks like he's about to skewer that pesky pi in his obverse field.

    And who knows what is being whispered in his ear by the creature behind him!
