<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2415463, member: 19463&quot;]One category of ancient imitation is the Barbarous Radiate of the time of the Gallic Empire in the 3rd century AD.&nbsp; some of these coins are so close in style to the regular issues that we might have trouble identifying them correctly.&nbsp; Some are so far out in left field that we are not sure what they were imitating.&nbsp; This one came from my coin show yesterday.&nbsp; It is my most &#039;barbarous&#039; radiate and beyond my ability to guess which ruler or reverse type it copied.&nbsp; I bought it from a rather large selection of BR&#039;s because it has a characteristic I had not seen before.&nbsp; Crude as it is, the portrait faces left.&nbsp; Does anyone have a left facing barbarous radiate?[ATTACH=full]499772[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
