<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KAJ, post: 25448075, member: 157976&quot;]Hey everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>I visit the middle east (Lebanon) once every few years, during the summer, and I&#039;ve decided to start a small thread on the artifacts I&#039;ve been finding with artifact dealers, this will be the first.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I hope this will be both interesting and eye-opening, especially when it comes to showcasing the still-remaining artifacts circulating the streets. It&#039;s been a wild ride finding all sorts of ancient (and not so ancient) artifacts. Here are a few pieces that caught my eye:</p><p><br /></p><p>(P.S Lebanon has strict regulations regarding the export of artifacts. While it might be relatively easy to find artifacts, taking them out of the country is illegal. I want to emphasize that I do not condone or support any illegal activity related to smuggling artifacts in any country)</p><p><br /></p><ol> <li><b>Late Roman Oil Lamp</b></li> </ol><p> <ol> <li><ul> <li>[ATTACH=full]1628809[/ATTACH]</li> <li>[ATTACH=full]1628811[/ATTACH]</li> <li>[ATTACH=full]1628812[/ATTACH]</li> </ul><br /> </li> <li><b>Roman Glass (allegedly)</b><ul> <li>[ATTACH=full]1628813[/ATTACH]</li> </ul><br /> </li> <li><b>Ancient Spearhead (allegedly) <i>(Looks similar to a mainz Gladius)</i></b><ul> <li>[ATTACH=full]1628816[/ATTACH]<br /> </li> <li>[ATTACH=full]1628815[/ATTACH]</li> </ul></li> </ol><p>What do you all think of these finds? Have any of you come across similar items? I&#039;d love to hear your opinions and any evaluations on authenticity you might have. The prices are pretty good compared to auction houses LOL, i think two items go for around 200$ and I&#039;m pretty sure they tried to over charge me. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>And Just to justify this post on the &quot;Ancient Coins Forum&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></b></p><p><br /></p><p>My most recent win, still on the way:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1628817[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>a very mean looking Caracalla.
