Holy crap this is amazing. They look prestine too!! How much is just this like worth roughly? Probably a small fortune?
I bet it's the kind of pile @Barry Murphy can see on his desk almost everyday, lucky him A fantastic bunch of aureii. I have to wear my sunglasses to look at them Q
@Barry Murphy - thanks for sharing, impressive @lordmarcovan - I saw a pile like that when the Houston Museum of Natural Science had a Pompey exhibit. I was amazed that they had a large pile of Aureii in two different exhibit windows with almost no fanfare. They also had the 12 Caesars in bronze, but mis-attributed a few of them (including a Roman Imperial bronze of Otho).
Talking about a pile of coins: found in Trier in 1993 during the course of excavation work for a new garage. 2650 aureii...
