Could you
help me please for this
anepigraphic bronze coin (23mm, 6,14g)
The seller described it as a « anonymous
republican » bronze with
Apollo on the
obverse. Rather than
Apollo, without laureate
head, it could be
Diana, and without any denominational mark, a
republican bronze seems to be excluded.
What kind of object do you see in front of the
bust? A hammer, a rudder, a quiver...?
The
reverse looks a lot like the she-wolf on the Antonine dynasty coins and later on several
provincial bronzes.
Could it be a forgery struck on ancient blank?
Thanks a lot for your
help
