It is indeed a fake Justinian follis; we've seen an identical one here before. The giveaway that confirms a die match, as I said in that other thread, is the little notch above the second "P" at 3 o'clock on the obverse. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

redwine Valued Member France 130 Posts	Posted 08/14/2011 09:10 am This is what I was thinking about. Looks nothing like it, funny how the mind plays tricks on you as you grow older.... It looks like a model for an early suspension bridge. Did Brunel get inspiration from it? Report this Post to the Staff
