<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 6563252, member: 97383&quot;]Voulgar. I enjoyed your well researched article <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! Both of these coins have fascinating iconography &amp; your sharp eye did a great job of tying them to the famous mosaic at the bishops&#039; palace at Ravenna <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Your 1st coin is an important rarity, &amp; no doubt an official issue from Ravenna. The 2nd solidus is a high grade gem that does pose some questions. Do you think this coin is an official issue from the Ravenna Mint or could it be a well done barbaric imitation <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? This particular issue was popular &amp; copied by different barbarian groups. The 3 coins pictured below were all sold by CNG, &amp; are copies by different barbarian tribes in the name of Valentinian III.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1263319[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Triton X, Lot 886.
