vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 03/19/2022 11:20 am Hi All, In my collection I stumbled upon a small bronze which has similair looks as the early judea bronzes from the 1st century. However this one has a portret on it. I was wondering if someone happens to know this type? And if it is a judea piece or something entirely different? Report this Post to the Staff

Perhaps Antiochos IV Epiphanes. But I'm not certain. No time to hunt it down right now. Report this Post to the Staff
