I saw this auction for a bronze the seller says is Britannicus.

However, after doing some research it looks more like a Domitian AE from Moesia-Tomis. You can make out most of the reverse legend TOM - EI - TWN.

Here's the Domitian (with reverse legend broken up differently)

Here's what an authentic Britannicus looks like:

I really can't tell not enough detail for me, but if the bidding doesn't go too high it might be taking the chance.

Ah, the famous "ancient.necropolis.london" who gives his address location as "I am a passionate Antiques collector and re-seller based in good old London, England." but then gives his business address as:

"Jason Smith,
Lancashire
UK
"

I guess in his imagination he lives in the "good old London" of Hollywood lore.

He had been copying the listing titles of the London Ancient Coins company until being caught out, so it seems he changed his business name to basically take the p*** out of LAC.

I emailed the seller with my concerns (I have done business with him in the past). He said he will email all bidders and let them know the coin may be a Domitian and not Britannicus.

His return policy:
"I allow full money back return within 14 days after purchase. The buyer must return the item and I will return his money back, including shipping."

That is Sexist, there are many Women in the Ancient Coin community, are they entitled to their money back?
