Why did I buy this lot?

I am sure someone will see why I was interested in this lot. There is one coin in particular that caught my attention. Here is a hint- it is from Rome and has an unlisted workshop.

Hehe, excellent eye. Even if the workshop was listed, it'd still be a scarce coin.

I noticed the distinctive Rome style obverse at first.

I think you'll find other interesting coins there. Does the large chi-rho maiorina/double maiorina belong to Decentius? It looks like it to me from this pic.

Yes, I am sure there will be a few interesting coins, but I would not have bid except for the one. I am not sure if the Chi-Rho is Decentius or Magnentius, unfortunately the obverse of that one is not in great condition.

Nonetheless a good assortment. Good luck!
