Albinus Bruti f.72 viewsAlbinus Bruti f. 48 BC. AR Denarius (17.5 mm, 3.59 g, 12 h). Rome mint. Bare head of Pietas right, wearing earring / Two clasped hands; winged caduceus behind. Crawford 450/2; CRI 26; Sydenham 942; RSC Postumia 10

Not an obvious fake by any means; the weight is right and the style seems correct. But there is a casting seem on one edge. Submitted for consignment to Agora Auctions.
