Five two dotters, sextans. My hand is about 3.5" X 5", so you see relative size. The second set are an As and Semis.

 

And now some slightly larger bronze. A piece of a cast bar (746 g) and an aes rude (375 g) broken from a plate. The As is 258 g & the semis is 137 G.

 

I don't own any aes grave just yet but a few weeks ago I was introduced to the collector who owns this monster:



281 grams of cast bronze awesomeness! I got to handle some amazing EF gold and silver coins that day, including an oath-taking scene gold, a 60-as gold, a few amazing tetradrachms and some beautiful Etruscan silver but this one was by far the most impressive coin of all in-hand. I'd be thrilled to even own some "chump change" like Alegandron's but I'd be over the moon to be able to add something like this to my collection.

Also of note: the 2 pocket flip this thing was in was the size of a CD case. It was awesome.

 

Bravo, fantastic collection!

 

Awesome posts guys! Nice @rrdenarius , love all the Aes!

 

It is smooth like a river rock, hefty, and feels great in hand. I really like the patina on mine...just nice.

 

Thanks @rrdenarius, really like your early Roman Republic bronze coins...fantastic pieces!!!

 

I didn't know they came that big!

 

You should see the album...36 flips to a page!

 

AWESOME!!!

Sometime this year I'll snag a couple of these---or at least some 'chump change'

 

I think this is the first time I've actually seen spam.

 

Well the mods got that before I saw it! Good job mods!

 

Have ya got any of them aes grave?

 

It has been reported. That is ridiculous. There are sell threads.
