The photo is at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Moneta-L/files/gordian.jpg More to come on this when I do a bit more research, but the description is as follows: Gordian III & Tranquillina, 241-244 AD AEPentassarion, Messembria in Thrace Obv: Confronted busts of Gordian and Tranquillina. Rx: Two youths (kouretes) performing Pyrrhic dance, holding shields above their helmeted heads and short swords. SNG Fitzwilliam 1560 Needless to say, extremely rare.
