Archeo1982 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 521 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 12:11 am The gens Sulpicia was one of the most ancient patrician families at Rome, and produced a succession of distinguished men, from the foundation of the Republic to the imperial period. The first member of the gens who obtained the consulship was Servius Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus, in 500 BC, only nine years after the expulsion of the Tarquins, and the last of the name who appears on the consular Fasti was Sextus Sulpicius Tertullus in AD 158. Although originally patrician, the family also possessed plebeian members, some of whom may have been descended from freedmen of the gens Denarius from P. Sulpicius Galba Mint: at Rome in the year 69 BC. Obv: Veiled head right of Vesta Legend: S.C. Rev: Knife, simpulum, and axe. Legend: [A]E - CVR// [P.] GALB Diameter: 19mm Mass: 3,50 gramm Ref: Sear 345; Sulpicia 7; Cr. 406/1; Syd. 839 Edited by Archeo1982 10/27/2017 12:12 am Report this Post to the Staff

Archeo1982 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 521 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 05:55 am I fear you're wright :( It looks a lot like the fake one. This was one of the first I bought online, when I was starting to collect. After comparing it with the found ones, I don't even think it's silver. My sincere apologies for placing it on this forum.
