Sadly, I had to look-up siliqua (siliquae?) ... ummm, was I the only one? (*sigh*)Quote:
The siliqua is the modern name given to small, thin, Roman silver coins produced from 4th century and later. When the coins were in circulation, the Latin word siliqua was a unit of weight defined as one-twentyfourth of the weight of a Roman gold solidus (coin) Beautiful coins!! Siliquae => "welcome" => wow, your eyes must have lit-up when you saw ancientcoinguy's thread, eh? ... man, it was your big-chance to show all of your amazing coins (good job)

I'm going to have to sell one of my kids just to get one My pricing table on ebay or public auctions is around this one : C5->C1 : 0-90 €
S , R1 : 100-200 €
R2, R3 : 200-400 €
R4-R5 : burgled...But because I know lot of people using metal detector like me, I receive proposals from them.... but in fact : the high level quality is comming frequently from public auctions, the high level rarity is comming from ebay. |
