    Something about it doesn't look right. I concur with Mat.

    KIWITI is right, it's too bad to be a fake. That bull is sporting quite a long dong :eek:!

    These are similar but genuine. The Greek city Thurium (Thourion) in southern Italy made various bull coins in several denominations for many years.

    I agree. I think it belongs on Elagabalus' head.
