sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 06/20/2013 04:00 am I found two Greek Imperial bronzes of Commodus with grapes on the reverse on VCOINS. Paultlia and Thrace Philippopolis, but it could well be a Greek Imperial bronze of some other emperor. Report this Post to the Staff
ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 06/20/2013 05:30 am It is indeed a Commodus from Pautalia, Thrace and is the exact coin shown here on coinproject, which lists forvm as the source of the picture. Edited by ThisIsFun 06/20/2013 05:48 am Report this Post to the Staff
ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 06/20/2013 05:43 am Here's another on wildwinds but not the exact same coin you have in your hand. Quote: Lot 3177. aVF. Est $175. Commodus AE20 of Pautalia. Obv: Laureate, draped & cuirassed bust right Rev: OVLPIAC PAVTALIAC, bunch of grapes. By permission of ancientcoinart.com, April, 2003. Nice! Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 06/20/2013 08:43 am I note that the details on the coin relative to the flan are exactly the same in both pictures. Does this mean that vermontensium now has THAT particular coin? Interesting way of proving provenance! Coin certainly looks genuine in both cases. Confirmation of weight would prove that. Forvm lists this piece as 'sold'. Edited by sel_69l 06/20/2013 08:45 am Report this Post to the Staff
ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 06/20/2013 09:06 am Yes, vermontensium has that exact coin (the coinproject pic). I wonder how many times it changed hands before reaching him? Report this Post to the Staff
