(official Rome mint 34 - 35 A.D.) Reference2:     BMCRE 107 cf. Photograph Credit:     FORUM ANCIENT COINS Source:     http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?zpg=19571 Notes:     A very interesting ancient counterfeit. The style is excellent and exotic but not official. The reverse legend is a mirror image of the original. Found in the Middle East judging by the nice desert patina. More interesting, we have another specimen from the same dies (#9079), which was found in the Middle East as well.
