<p>[QUOTE="nicholasz219, post: 2809119, member: 75641"][USER=87186]@LaCointessa[/USER]: I appreciate your detailed notes. I will be making a trip to Walgreens to pick up some wool and acetone. As it seems to be that at least for numbers one and two there is not much redeeming value in letting them just sit as they are, I will see if I can at least break through the crust on them. If there is no value to them otherwise, I might as well practice on removing grime. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=42634]@chrsmat71[/USER]: I think this is a Roman provincial for sure. From the outline of the head, I would say somewhere in the Domitian - Trajan era. The reverse appears to be Zeus seated left, holding patera in right outstretched hand and a scepter standing in this left. The problem is that I can only see about as much of the legends in person as you guys can see in the picture. I thought it might be Bruzos but then that doesn't explain the x in the legend behind Zeus. The letters there look like BPOnX. I admit I am lost on this because there are just enough letters to get me started then I feel like I go down the wrong road.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
