<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4434523, member: 110350"]I assume it's some kind of antiquity rather than a coin? Because if it were a Roman coin, it would presumably be listed in BCMRE or the parallel volumes by Grueber on the Roman Republic, published (as it happens) in 1911. All of which are available online, in their original form or otherwise. And I'm sure the British Museum's Greek coins have been published as well. If it were a vase, or some other example of figure-decorated ancient pottery, you could look for it in the Beazley archive and the related databases (see <a href="https://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/index.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/index.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/index.htm</a>). If it's something else, and it doesn't appear in the Museum's online catalogue, you might search for catalogues or inventories of various collections that the Museum may have published early in the 20th century. Of course, you'd probably have to find an open major research library to view a copy of such a thing![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
