[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4850069, member: 85693"]Ryro, that is an awe-inspiring collection of countermarks. I have questions about a couple of them: #4 - anchor #5 - owl #8 - ? I don't know what's going on there. A lot of times I have trouble attributing countermarks - I have a fairly large collection of "mysteries" that I take out from time to time to see if any new info comes up. Those three in your collection do not look familiar to me - the owl does, but not necessarily on that host. For instance, here's a mysterious NE countermark - I like how it looks, but know nothing about it. [ATTACH=full]1171211[/ATTACH] Here is one of those Vindex Rebellion countermarks - like the last in your post: [ATTACH=full]1171212[/ATTACH] [B]Vindex Rebellion Æ (As?) Moesia, Thrace or Gaul (c. March-June 68 A.D.)[/B] Agrippa or Nero head left (?) /Victory (?) standing right; Æ as (or barbaric imitation?) too worn to ID. [B]Countermark: [/B]PR ([I]Populus Romanus) [/I]in rectangular punch Pangerl 87; Howgego 599 (?). (6.55 grams / 27 x 26 mm) Populus Romanus - The Roman People. This countermark was used by the rebels in Gaul under the leadership of Julius Vindex during the months of March-June 68 A.D. eBay seller note: "This coin is part of a lot I bought on CNG Coins Auction 443 Lot 735"[/QUOTE]
