MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 10/04/2013 6:14 pm Found 2 hammered, 2 bronze roman, 3 checks and this beauty today. All in all, what I would call a fantastic day! You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 10/05/2013 10:18 am lol! Not the best on these yet - still learning, but I think it's Genius standing left, sacrificing over an altar and holding grain ears.

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 10/06/2013 12:45 pm Its a flaming altar - thats drapery on the penguin. Nice find, by the way. And with Genii, theres bleedin loads of them (one for every city, item, collective etc) so it would be a Genius (im guessing its Rome's). Report this Post to the Staff

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 10/07/2013 06:26 am I have it down as septimius severus as well, the more I look at it now the more it looks like a penguin ... Obverse, Septimius Severus bust right. Reverse, Genius standing left feeding kippers to a penguin. You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff
