<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AnYangMan, post: 3227490, member: 87271&quot;]During the same auction I got my recent Ptolemaic purchase from, I also acquired this nice lot of Roman Republic bronzes (plus a single silver) for a rather modest price. 18 in total, some absolutely abhorrent quality-wise, but plenty of decent ones as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]841895[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I am particularly fond of the early sextans (can anybody help me with the exact McCabe group this should belong to?), the Silanus As, the early ‘Romano’ litra, the Silanus As and the Sextus Pompey As for its historical connection (even though the quality isn’t the greatest). The Marc Anthony denarius was a rather pleasant surprise as well; it is a relatively rare type, struck shortly after Anthony reconciliated with Ahenobarbus in 40 BC. As someone who has a small-budget sub-collection of important imperatorial political figures, I thought this rather pricey admiral would remain forever out of reach, but luckily this popped up!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]841896[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]841897[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Posts your Republican bronzes below please![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
