If this is representative of what Roman mints were producing, it’s no wonder they had currency issues.

As a historian, I can say something over 1000 years old that is not fragmented or on the verge of being fragmented is very good condition. Not missing anything or any notable pieces too? Damn near mint

Amazing to find weapons after all this time that haven't been decayed by the gloom.

The fact that the wood and leather bits are preserved is pretty awesome.
