Here they are - one of the siliquae is snapped in half - I wont try repairing it, but ill keep them together. Okay then - let forth your opinions and take a guess about how much I paid! P.S. Looks like a barbarous radiate and an alright radiate thrown in - they'll be fun to clean up as an added bonus! Report this Post to the Staff

Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 02/01/2013 6:17 pm Siliquas are always interesting, even the ones cut in half, which was a common practice here in southern Britain. Good catch! Report this Post to the Staff

giano Valued Member 279 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 07:50 am Hi I think the piece of siliqua in the upper right is a magnus maximus.....I read DN MAG MAX...isn't it? Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 08:14 am Giano - you are correct! I only bothered looking at them afterwards - it looks like a Constantius II 'VOT XXX MVLTIS XXXX' and a Magnus Maximus 'VIRTVS ROMANORVM'. Pretty good for £3.50 ($5.50)! I also like how the only bit of the Mag surviving on the obverse is a ful ROMANORVM. Pretty cool. Report this Post to the Staff
