sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/24/2013 10:35 pm The nearest I could find on Wildwinds was a bronze AE 22 or AE 30, Emperor Tiberius, of Carthago Nova, (Spain) Obverse Tiberius bare head right, reverse Caligua, bear head right. NOT an exact match, but may lead to a better attribution by others. What is the diameter, and what is it's weight? Report this Post to the Staff

Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 09/25/2013 11:57 am It looks like a "tourist fake". The Lituus in the right field and the style is like the AE's issued at Sabratha, in modern Algeria. http://www.coinproject.com/search_c...ity=Sabratha®ion=SYRTICA&type=5&sort=obv Or here: http://www.forumancientcoins.com/ga...m=793&pos=28 Could not find an AE, with a bust right, with "APRONIVS" on it.

A flat sprue (6 o'clock) was broken off and left in a rough unfinished condition. Edited by FVRIVS RVFVS 09/25/2013 12:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
