<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1531446, member: 19463"]I've been attracted to coins of Claudius that appear to be 'not Rome' but never have a good grasp on how to tell barbarous from branch mints. Each of these strike me as in that category but I know nothing. The brockage was purchased because it was a brockage and AE brockages are not common. The countermarked one was bought for the countermark. Both are currently in my catalog as barbarous (agree???). The other sestertius has a very good treatment of the transparent drapery to be barbarous so I am considering it and the Libertas as branch. Not reading French will hinder my appreciation of an article with no photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]202539.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]202540.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]202541.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]202542.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
