I'm quite leery of it as to authenticity, but it got thrown in gratis with my purchase, so no big deal if it turns out to be a piece of junk. Hard for me to tell if the porosity is from deterioration or being cast. The color suggests to me more of a brass than bronze composition. 19 mm in diameter with the weight coming in at 3.4 grams.

So Aeolis, Kyme, BMC 120, similar to the semi-autonomous issue cataloged as BMC 118, except it's slightly larger & heavier, and Tyche on the obverse faces left rather than right. Might well be from the same time period, though, which would be 253-268 AD. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
