While in the market there is something unsatisfying about these Roman Republic Asses, it is only 1/6 the size of the real phat As of an earlier period. I believe this comes from the period of bronze only coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Republic</p><p>Italy, Rome</p><p>P.CORNELIUS P.F.
