Numis-Northerner Pillar of the Community Canada 857 Posts	Posted 05/17/2020 11:06 pm Can't say anything on authenticity, but I do know large bronze Roman coins similar in size to this one do exist, though I doubt they were for everyday commerce. Real or not I would like to have something like this some day. Edited by Numis-Northerner 05/17/2020 11:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
