<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2210177, member: 42773&quot;]Something interesting since we got on the subject of Gallus - here is a lead seal with confronted busts of CII and CG. I know it&#039;s rough, but show me another one, anywhere. (Actually, there is one other known example, mentioned in the reference.) Sometimes we like to wonder how many hands our ancient coins passed through in commerce. In the case of this seal, we can legitimately wonder if it was actually used by one of the emperors...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]431688[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Roman lead imperial seal of Constantius II and Constantius Gallus AD 351-354</b></p><p>Laureate bust of Constantius II to r., facing bare-headed bust of Constantius Gallus</p><p>Cf. for parallel example Münzzentrum Rheinland 151 (21 April 2009), lot 875; 14mm, 2.29 gram.
