Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 05/08/2019 11:26 pm I was the only bidder on this group of small late Roman coins sold by an ebay dealer in Israel. I won the lot for $15. It attracted my attention because of the small coin in the middle of the top row. It appeared to be a rare Eudocia CONCORDIA AVG AE-4. Eudocia was the wife of Theodosius II (402-450 AD). These crude little bronzes are listed as "Rarity 4" and I believe the coin is attributed as RIC, Vol. X, #428. There is only one currently for sale on ebay and none on VCoins. Wildwinds has one example. The lot arrived today and, after giving it an inspection, I do believe it is Eudocia. The reverse design depicts Eudocia seated with her arms over her chest. There is a star in the left reverse field, underneath the lighter dirt spot. The coin looks to be nicely detailed for the type after comparing it to the few examples I have been able to find online. Here is a link to a nice example on VCoins: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...RIC_0428.jpg Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

I've gone after her gold whenever it comes up to auction, but the last seconds always say "Sit down and let the big boys play." Perhaps I should start spending the weekly 2-3 hours again!
