It's a tough job governing, so here's Constantius II (from upcoming Nomos sale) enjoying a bit of a break and having a muffin and string cheese.

They say it's a mappa and sceptre, but I know muffins and string cheese when I see it.

He seems really into the string cheese. Here he is having another one, but looking rather stressed and taking it out on his stress ball.

You would expect better engraving from the gold guys...he must have been traininng on the job. Hands are tough and things held in hands are apparently also tough to engrave.
