It's not only the hair Kc...
I'm not very confident with that coin, I don't see struck signs. I would have it checked by an expert in roman bronces.

hi galbus,

I am not sure if it is a cast fake but I do not have to find it out because
Roma takes the coin back. I am happy about that!

Better to give it back then...Otherwise you will stay always with the doubt.

Today I received a cute Nigrinian Antoninian:

My latest Addition to my collection is this very big double sestertius of Postumus with medallic flan:

Rev. EXERCITVS AVG S C, emperor on horseback left, raising right hand and addressing three soldiers standing to left before, each holding signa.

33mm 37.94g

RIC 116, Bastien 20-21

Wow ! exercitus avg? Never seen before

37,94 grs !!!What a monster !

... superbe sesterce de l'atelier de Trèves plutôt que Cologne ...

Joli pavé en effet .....!!

Le différent de localisation des ateliers , entre les 2 écoles , ne semble pas encore totalement résolu. ?....!!

...de quoi je me mêle papy Brutus   ... l'atelier de Trèves depuis la fin du règne de Valérien est acté par les numismates spécialisés sérieux et compétents ... seuls quelques germains récalcitrants résistent encore misérablement... ...

Ah les germains et la resistance.......!!!

Brutus, tu écriras 20 fois ce qui est écrit dans l'article de Bruno (paru dans le dernier magazine du forum.)

L'Erreur vient de là, au moment où le Docteur Bastien a écrit son livre, le trésor de Cunetio n'avait pas été découvert.
