I had been looking for that really special someone to make my own. You know that really special one. But I found these two "ladies" a few months ago and no one else seemed particularly interested in their well above average looks. As far as the market for Obulco bronzes go I rate them around a 7 or an 8 out of ten ! But at $65 for the pair of these dark eyed Spanish beauties it was for me simply ....... a "no brainer" ! Iberia AE As Obulco 18.81 grams 28-30mm (Attractive red/brown green and black patina) Iberia AE As Obulco 20.17 grams 29-32mm (Lovely black and green with a dash of brown patina) As you can see from the dimensions they tend toward the plump ! A lovely pair of curvaceous girls they are Edited by FVRIVS RVFVS 04/20/2017 6:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Veton Valued Member Spain 108 Posts	Posted 04/21/2017 1:23 pm Nice coins. They might be Alvarez Burgos 824 and 825 (or Vives 95-5, 95-6. The magistrates are (we must consider that there is not transliteration consensus): URKAILTU and NESELTUKO. But my reply is due to a different concern: FVRIVS RVFVS be aware that this brave fellow: (I think is the husband of beauty from Obulco) is looking for those who say that things to his wife.

Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 04/21/2017 10:47 pm And your two great ladies met another lady at the bar, who was accompanied by an odd-looking Roman fellow with two bulls and an eagle. All in Obulco. I love that place. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 04/22/2017 1:43 pm Many thanks for attributions !! Yes I shall be wary of Spaniards carrying swords ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JGp7Meg42U Very nice Mssr Doucet ! She is nearly a 9 ! It takes some getting used to the peculiar style of these bronzes. But certainly hard not to notice ! Much like many of the eastern tetrarch folles of Diocletian & Maximianus I often wonder just what were they thinking making an image like that ? As they had no trouble reproducing it I suspect it to be linked to an ancient cult image of a goddess from the area. Happiness is a nice "plump" bronze. Report this Post to the Staff
Veton Valued Member Spain 108 Posts	Posted 04/24/2017 10:59 am The video of Mr. Montoya is , very good link. In this topic there is a good example of medium and final Obulco coins. About the lady, most of scholars think that is a representation of an iberian agriculture goddess. saludos Report this Post to the Staff
