<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 7901958, member: 44106&quot;]I only have a couple of beat up &quot;ASIA RECEPT&quot; quinarii which I bought last year for about EUR 30 each. The French EBay site seems to have them from time to time. I&#039;ve posted photos of the better one. The portrait on this one is quite nice, despite being on such a small flan and despite the banker&#039;s marks on his neck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although one could infer from the legend that these were minted in Asia, they are actually attributed to Rome or Brindisi. They were minted around 29-27 BC, so shortly before Octavian adopted the title of Augustus.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1364523[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1364524[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
