[QUOTE="Col Davidson, post: 3936319, member: 73908"]Hi Ryro, I really enjoyed your article on the AES Formatum and am hoping that either yourself or another of the Coin Talk members can help me with my two queries. I have a nice AES Rude which came from a hoard found near the Roman Port of Ostia in 1983. It is shown it in Photo C. My first query is the item shown in Photo A. It is on its way to my collection and came from A coin/antique dealer on Cyprus and was described as an AES Formatum. Photo B shows a somewhat similar shape, but larger, which was sold by Your Antiquarian as an AES Formatum . I feel that mine is definitely an AES Formatum but am unsure of the small size – what is your opinion. My second query comes from my item on Photo D – it came from a turn of the century (20th Cent) excavation near Gubbio, Umbria and was sold by Ancient Resource, California as an AES Rude. I am wondering if, in fact, it is an AES Formatum. It is very small and, with a lot of imagination, is slightly axe shape – Which do you think it is – a Rude or a Formatum. The photos have the size and weights of each item – I am not experienced enough in this field to answer my own questions. All the best, Col[/QUOTE]
