Fake lead Spintriae
« on: May 06, 2017, 01:43:21 pm »
I do think that they are fake, 2 of each and the seller gifted them to me (he would not do so if authentic). Now my question do authentic lead Spintriae even exist?
How to authenticate lead objects.
Your help is really much appreciated.

With best regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Spintriae do not exist in lead. There are however, tesserae with erotic scenes and numerals on the rev., but these are stylistically very different.
