[QUOTE="seth77, post: 7556871, member: 56653"]With so much new knowledge of migration period I wonder if anyone has seen anything like this: [ATTACH=full]1303268[/ATTACH] Is it a "barbarous radiate" from the late 3rd century in Gaul or Britain tooled to show a pelleted cross on the reverse? Is it something else, perhaps similar to this: [ATTACH=full]1303276[/ATTACH] Its reverse has what looks like an early version of a cross pomettee. It's also, at cca. 2.2g and 15mm, heavier than the regular "barbarous radiates." The reverse looks smooth after cleaning and some signs of tooling are also present. But was it tooled to form the cross or the tooling was just used to "improve" what was already there? The overall aspect also looks like it could just as likely be a Merovingian workmanship. The annulets also look like they might have been the result of impression rather than carving, so the tooling, if indeed happened, might at most be superficial. Curious if anyone recognizes these.[/QUOTE]
