lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 04/24/2017 08:15 am Excellent examples of Imperial bronze. Any chance we'll see these in their respective threads of the Women of Rome project (which is not supposed to be all silver, but coins of all metals used)? We rarely get Imperial bronze there.

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 04/24/2017 10:44 am My great weakness is finding what I am looking for (decent condition bronze) and having a seller make me a very very reasonable offer. The two "ladies" came to a just a wee bit more than one fine crisp portrait of Mr Franklin. Yes ..... Julia is a definite "keeper" and it looks as if a long bath and massage just might make her look quite youthful again ! After this I had expected to make it to the exits with my personal presidential portrait gallery intact but my old friend Nick, sensing some blood in the water offered to extend a small loan on a bag of later (billon) AE bronzes. I snatched the bag and ran for the car ! So one small mystery woman I now own. Hardly worth a separate thread (perhaps ?). Who is this ? I cant quite nail it. Perhaps a mule to confuse me ? I see a double strike and perhaps FL start of legend ? Reverse PAX PVBLICA and the mint hard to read but possible ARL ? Never was great attributing 4th century You usually need really good eyes ! 15-7mm 1.63 grams Edited by FVRIVS RVFVS 04/24/2017 10:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 04/24/2017 11:30 am I suspect your double strike is one of the Pax AE3/4s for Helena. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 04/24/2017 12:35 pm But of course a postumous issue from the Grandchildren ! I had looked at Helena quickly and saw no PAX reverses. Thank you sir ! Report this Post to the Staff
