Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 8:20 pm Plucked these today from a bag of unattributed Roman bronzes of generally mediocre (or worse) quality. These two are nothing terrific, but they were notably decent & cheap enough, & I thought they might as well stay together. The one on the left I have as RIC VIII 195, G & the other as RIC VIII 88, B. Note the Christogram atop the standard on the reverse of the latter specimen. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 8:31 pm Congrats, LC. A nice pair of AE's. Other than the bit of corrosion on the periphery, the right one is sharp. Good detail on that one, especially. Report this Post to the Staff

That is for Siscia/Sisak, right?
