Love the posts!!! A great tray and a very cool bronze!!! My only example is an old seller photo of her....and yes she has been liberated LOL...
From the photos it looks like it may be OK to me (although I'm not convinced either)...and I'm wrong about as often as I'm right. The high...
These are some of my 'nice' examples, although I purchased them for the 'general' theme of his 'zoo series'---but the mythological aspect is there...
From your photo (or any photo) I find it difficult to tell either way...but I don't see anything that jumps up at me to say FAKE other than the...
I realized I have one fourree that apparently masqueraded as the real deal in antiquity---this 'denarius' of Octavian: [ATTACH]
Cool posts!! Everyone should have a few coins of Alexander! Naturally, I went after a modest bronze and silver (drachm) of Alexander as well as a...
I have already posted most of my other purchases for this month on other threads except this denarius of Commodus. Not the best example of him as...

Thanks for the comments guys!! Naturally, I still hope to get a few that pre-date this type that so many of you already have. I still try too...
I think that's a terrific example!!! I'd love to own it!!! My only 'bronze' is a heavily worn sestertius...but I recently grabbed these examples...
Although heavily worn/circulated, that's a nice example. That's one type that I always seem to lose at auction...
LOVE the posts!! @Bing Yours has so much detail----even a beard on Mars??? WOW!! Here's another 'series' of the OP that I took without...
About six weeks ago I was drawn to a HJB (Harlan Berk) 'buy or bid' sale, primarily because they mentioned a modest shipping fee and minus a...
