<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7829081, member: 97383&quot;]Dirk, Thanks for pointing out <b>Wild Winds</b>, they have an impressive selection of Anthemius coinage. Most of these coins were submitted by European auction houses quite some time ago. I still find it perplexing that these two coins were struck at the Rome Mint, one looking barbaric &amp; the other of the same quality you would see at the Constantinople Mint <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1345027[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1345028[/ATTACH] </p><p>What could account for such differences in style &amp; quality <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? I love the last coin you posted with Anthemius sporting an arrow though his head <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. That coin is a barbaric treasure. The last coin <b>Hrefn</b> posted is a fascinating coin too; it does look like a Rome Mint product <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
