Eng5858 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 11/29/2012 1:15 pm This is a little different, I work in a Grocery store, We have a wine dept., one of our wine Stewart came to me, knowing that I collect Ancients. She handed me a bottle of Treveri.(this is no way to solicit buying wine). on the label of the bottle there was a Ancient coin of Constantine, very cool.. Also she has met the owner,which he lived in Tier,Germany, his story from her( wine stew) that he found this coin under a bridge, in Tier, which is why he uses the the Name Treveri. This pic on the bottle is the coin he found. I have emailed this guy and have asked him for his story and a Ob. and Rev. pic of this coin on the bottle. No reply yet, its his busy season might be the reason....any idea's of the Rev. The Name "Treveri " comes from the Historic name of the city of Trier, Germany one of the Former Seats of the Roman Empire...(His winery is in Yakima, WA.) Ski lives over near there maybe he can pop in and get the info......just kidding... This is some pic's off the case.. This is off the bottle.. Report this Post to the Staff

Dionysos Valued Member Canada 472 Posts	Posted 11/29/2012 2:05 pm The medallion (wich is now in the Cabinet des MÃ©dailles in Paris) was part of a large hoard found in France in 1922. It consisted of about 40 gold medallions, 2-300 gold coins, silver coins, silverware, jewels and cameos. The greater part of this treasure, left without surveillance (), was stolen the night after it's discovery Edited by Dionysos 11/29/2012 2:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dionysos Valued Member Canada 472 Posts	Posted 11/29/2012 2:28 pm It would have to be one of the bronze copies made out of the original one imo. Wonder if that wine is good Hope it's not made of fake grapes Report this Post to the Staff
