[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 7717386, member: 75937"]I was the high bidder at this weekend's Savoca blue and this big ol' Republican bronze caught my eye. Now, it's not EF by any means -- and that's perhaps why I'm having trouble attributing it using Sear. It's 27.88 g and 31 mm (sestertius-sized for imperial aficionados like me), which is too small for the I above Janus and I above prow but otherwise plain type in Sear, but too heavy to be a post-reform one, which is supposed to be about 20 g or so. I see only an I above the Janus and only an I above the prow and no other monograms or control marks, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. They could be worn away (I mean look how barely visible the ROMA is at the bottom). Does anybody have a reference for this one? Dating? Any help is appreciated. I'm out of my wheelhouse here.
