<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2627374, member: 74834&quot;]What do you think of this provincial Roman bronze? I bought it some years ago for $60 in an auction: </p><p>Domitianus 81-96, Phrygia, Cibyra (or Kibyra). AE 23 mm. Obv. Domitianus faces Domitia, his queen. A countermark with star between them. Rev. Sitting Zeus. With letters KI BY. 22 mm, 7,17 gr. (Standard works, not checked by me: RPC 1262; SNGvA 3731; Sear 896; Howgego 444 (c/m))</p><p>By the way, what&#039;s the meaning of the countermark?</p><p><br /></p><p>It lost some of its appeal to me when I realized it had been harshly cleaned. And now I&#039;m thinking of removing it from my collection, because I have the most pleasure from well-preserved and untampered coins. But if it&#039;s very rare, if it&#039;s hard to find a comparable coin in better condition, I would keep it. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]577530[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
