An inscribed lead weight from Nicomedia, province of Bithynia (AD 200-201)
|
This had to be the first entry in my gallery because I bought my first coin (entry #2) with the money I thought I had 'saved' by catching this one at a way lower price than I was expecting to pay (adrenaline highs play weird tricks on your mind). To me, this ugly piece of lead is worth more than a thousand of your finest silver coins. Sadly, I'm unlikely to be able to purchase any more of these, so I'll content myself with coins.
Description incoming, and a lenghty one shall it be. [Update: hold on, the courier went AWOL.][Update 2: never mind update 1, they eventually made contact – better late than never. ETA: 3 more days.]
