A superb brass sestertius of Trajan Decius, the figure on the reverse depicts the personification of the Army of Illyricum. A exceptional example - struck on an unusually round flan for the issue with complete legends. Beautiful natural green patina and an incredibly detailed portrait of the short-lived emperor. A worthy addition to any serious Roman Imperial collection.
