<p>[QUOTE="limmle, post: 4594157, member: 113081"]I’ve had this tiny bronze for some time now. I bought it because I’m really interested in late Roman history. After researching more about late Roman bronzes I realise that the chances of an authentic Anthemius bronze are slight so I put mine aside, assuming it is fake. I’ve recently been examining it again and comparing it with known fakes. It seems to be a bit different, being very small and very frail. It’s so thin it’s actually quite fragile. Only a vague impression of a bust on the obverse and no identifiable letters. Anthemius monogram number 2 on the reverse. Does anyone have any opinions on authenticity.[ATTACH=full]1137661[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1137660[/ATTACH]</p><p>Obverse: Pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right.
