| | Condemnation | | | Discussed and quetioned on on Fake Roman Coins (Facebook) (https://www.facebook.com/groups/602676683228067) According to Nomos "This object is clearly ancient, but it is also neither from an Imperial mint nor is it a barbarous imitation. It is simply a cast made to be used as a pendant, quite probably beyond the Empire's borders. It is also likely since the cast was made from a mould taken from an actual aureus of Niger's, that this piece was used as part of a pair with the original." Forgery Type: Cast | |
