<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8303015, member: 110350&quot;]The Helios Gallery in the UK is quite reputable. (He usually has some wonderful Roman glass vases if you like that!) So is antiquities.co.uk (run by Christopher Martin, also a coin dealer, who, I believe, is on VCoins).&nbsp; Also Hixenbaugh.net in New York City. And Mark Goodstein at Explorer Ancient Art, via the Trocadero.com dealer platform. None of these is what I&#039;d call a truly high-end, ultra- expensive dealer, except Hixenbaugh to a certain extent. I&#039;ve purchased from all of them multiple times.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also Bron Lipkin&#039;s store at <a href="http://www.collector-antiquities.com/shop/gallery.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collector-antiquities.com/shop/gallery.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.collector-antiquities.com/shop/gallery.html</a>. Dr. Lipkin also has many useful pages and galleries on his website about fake antiquities and how to recognize them, including fibulae and brooches -- which happen to be one of the most commonly-faked types of Roman antiquities.&nbsp; See the pages of fake brooches beginning at <a href="http://www.collector-antiquities.com/real-or-fake/fake-roman-brooches.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collector-antiquities.com/real-or-fake/fake-roman-brooches.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.collector-antiquities.com/real-or-fake/fake-roman-brooches.html</a>. The general page about this kind of antiquity, <a href="http://www.collector-antiquities.com/general-information/brooches-and-fibulae.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collector-antiquities.com/general-information/brooches-and-fibulae.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.collector-antiquities.com/general-information/brooches-and-fibulae.html</a>, doesn&#039;t seem to be loading right now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
