<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Herberto, post: 2902016, member: 74222&quot;]There are a couple artefacts in the eastern Roman/Byzantine empire I would like to own, for example an oil lamb or a ring. But the problem is that I really don&#039;t know how to determine wheter they are genuine or correctly attributed. - It is easier with numismatic coins I think.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like for instance John A claims that that metal belt thing is Roman. But how does he know for sure? could it not be Persian? or Gothic? Or a third state/entity?</p><p><br /></p><p>I would only buy if it was at first-hand: that is buying directly from an archaeologist store which can guarantee me where they found it and that it was them who digged it up from earth. The price will of course go up, but that is worth imo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
