    Looks good in your pictures.

    I always liked that piece for its earthen patina (what I'd refer to as "DirtCam" contrast, in a play on my "CircCam" terminology).

    And hey, if you ever have to decide something important with a coin toss, bring that one with you... and choose heads!

    I'm looking forward to seeing Hadrian and Trajan.
