The coins below are from the private late Roman coin collection of John Aiello, a prominent ancient coin wholesaler. Unfortunately, this is not the entire collection. Many of the pieces were sold through Alex G. Malloy, Auction Sale LX. FORVM was fortunate to obtain all the coins that did not receive bids meeting the reserves. The reserves were not unreasonable, but the catalog was printed in black and white on newsprint and bidders were not able to see the fine patinas and beautiful, but sometimes subtle, qualities of these coins. We hope you find our photographs allow you to properly appraise these fine coins. Since all of these coins are sold, you will need to click "SEE MORE FROM THIS CATEGORY - FORVM's PRIOR SALES" at the bottom of the page to see the collection.
