<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 422467, member: 9204&quot;]I really must learn to start evaluating things more objectively - there was a ridiculously obvious piece of data staring us right in the face the whole time. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The obverse legend, SCALA SANTA, is in Italian, not Latin. Were it Latin, it would read SCALAE SANCTAE. Therefore, this cannot be an ancient token. Beyond that, I should have noticed that both the style of the staircase and of the kneeling figures on the reverse is far removed from the plebian style that would have been seen on a 3rd-5th century AD token. Judging by the artistic interpretations, I would place this token during the Renaissance or later.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You must get a better image of the reverse, particularly of the legend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
