Ave!
Just sharing, but have any of you ever come across one like this one?
When arrived, I placed it in a bath of Vulpex to remove soften dirt. After removing the compressed flat
bulla from the bath, I figured that it was
still full of mud, so I used a dental probe just open it enough wash out the rest of the mud. See the 1st photo.
Opening it just a little more, a
denarius popped out! The
denarius is
Commodus with HERCVLI ROMANO
AVG;
Hercules standing front,
head left, crowning
trophy, holding
lion skin & club.
See the 2nd photo of the
denarius after simple tooth brushing. The last photo reflects both
bulla and the
denarius after minimal cleaning.
Best to all,
Kevin
